Spray Polyurethane Foam is a liquid material which can be applied over existing roofs to create and extend into a foam layer. The application of spray foam and coating is a quick process and can be applied with usually no interruption to the daily routine of the facility. Roofing spray foam is installed by spraying a liquid insulation material on the existing roof and allowing it to expand into a foam. This insulation process means that the foam can extend and fill all roof shapes and types, even irregularly shaped roofs.

When roofs are insulated and sealed by professional insulation companies,  they are a sustainable, aesthetic choice for commercial flat roofs. The insulation material expands more than 30 times its size after drying, which creates a durable blanket across your roof. Without an effective insulation and sealing, flat roofs can sag and become susceptible to water pooling.
