How SPF roofing can keep you cool this summer

It’s April here in St. Louis which means spring storms and summer heat are on their way! How can you keep your office building safe and cool this summer?
SPF roofing!
Spray Polyurethane Foam roofing is an excellent solution for protecting your commercial roof and lowering energy costs throughout the heat and storms of summer. SPF roofing has the highest R-value (6.5+/inch.) of any commercial roofing solution available today.
Why is it called cool roofing?
SPF roofing is often referred to as “cool roofing” because of its ability to naturally lower interior temperatures. Many SPF roofs, like Lapolla Industries’ FOAM-LOK installed by R&A Contracting, relies on a elastomeric coating called Thermo-Flex to reflect the sun’s natural and harmful UV rays. This helps reduce thermal conduction through natural heat index that would normally be absorbed and transferred by other commercial roofing solutions. The end result is lower interior temperatures, less demand on HVAC systems, and reduced energy costs by up to 40%!
Longer life-cycle = less replacement costs
Because of the protective quality of UV coatings, SPF roofing solutions carry a virtually unlimited life-cycle. With regular re-coatings of UV protection, an SPF roof can provide excellent protection for the life of your building. Longer life-cycles also mean less replacement costs for business owners already facing the everyday pressure of keeping healthy margins of profitability. This is a huge advantage over other commercial roofing solutions that need to be replaced every 5-10 years.
