Spray foam or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is arguably among the top commercial roofing materials when it comes to longevity and performance. The numerous benefits to your commercial building include waterproofing, energy efficiency, and insulation.
Applied in the form of a liquid mixture, spray foam quickly expands (around 20x its original volume) into a foam, creating a solid layer over your existing roof. During the expansion process, it seeps into tears, crevices, and cracks of your damaged roof, and dries into a single monolithic waterproof layer, which spreads over the entire roofing structure. It is normally applied to the flashings, base of protrusions, and other areas of possible leaks so that your roof remains protected from all sorts of environmental elements.
Benefits of Spray Foam
With a properly installed and maintained spray foam system, not only do you get decades of optimal performance out of your commercial roofing system, but you also get numerous other perks.
First, spray foam is quite easy to install and maintain. It is applied quickly on your roof’s surface, with minimal disruption to your business activity. Regardless of the shape of your roof, spray foam will adhere to it seamlessly.
Once spray foam is applied on your roof, it requires minimal repair and preventative maintenance. Unless some sort of unusual weather hazard strikes, you don’t need to have it checked more than twice annually. Note that a properly maintained spray foam roof can serve you for more than 50 years.
Furthermore, spray foam makes your commercial building far more energy-efficient. It serves as a shield against moisture, heat, and air, thereby providing extraordinary insulation to your building. By keeping the heat of the sun out of the building, spray foam enhances the energy efficiency of your building, causing a significant reduction in your utility bills.
In addition to this, spray foam is odorless, which means there is no danger of attack from fungi or mildew. On top of that, its smooth nature allows it to reduce the shock effects on your roofing structure.

Spray Foam Application
Just like any other roofing service, before a spray foam can be applied on your commercial roof, a thorough inspection of your roof needs to be conducted by the professional roofers at Greenquest Roofing.
This inspection will determine any troubling spots across your roof’s surface, and help us determine the exact needs of your existing system.
Any necessary repairs will be conducted, then the area fully cleaned and prepared for the application.
The foam application itself is fairly quick, odorless and requires minimal disruption to your business.
