As a commercial building owner, you know that your roofing system is the first line of defense against weather elements that can damage your property. Weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, hail and heavy rains are some of the most common threats that can harm commercial roofing systems in South Carolina. Not to mention that the sun’s UV rays can also cause significant damage over time. Fortunately, technology has advanced in the roofing industry, and there are new ways to address these issues. One viable option is spray foam roofing, which is becoming increasingly popular among commercial property owners. Let’s explore what you need to know about spray foam roofing.
Spray foam roofing is a seamless and energy-efficient roofing system that is ideal for commercial buildings of all shapes and sizes. Spray foam roofing is made up of two main components: polyol resin and isocyanate. The two components are mixed during application to create a rigid material that bonds to virtually any roof substrate. The material is then sprayed via a high-pressure spray gun onto the existing roof substrate. As it dries, it expands and adheres to the surface, creating a seamless and durable roofing system.
Spray foam roofing works by creating a seamless, closed-cell insulation barrier on the existing roof substrate. This insulation barrier prevents air and moisture from passing through the roofing system, creating an incredibly energy-efficient system. Spray foam roofing also provides outstanding adhesion and durability, which means it can withstand the harsh weather elements typically experienced by commercial roofing systems.
There are several benefits of re-roofing your commercial building with spray foam roofing. First, it can help to lower your energy bills. Spray foam roofing creates an energy-efficient barrier that can help to reduce the amount of heating and cooling that your building requires. Second, spray foam roofing is exceptionally durable and long-lasting. It can withstand hurricane-force winds, hail and even fire. Finally, spray foam roofing is seamless, meaning there are no joints or seams that can allow water to penetrate your roofing system.
Spray foam roofing can last for over 30 years with proper maintenance. Unlike traditional roofing systems, which require regular maintenance and replacement, spray foam roofing only requires minor maintenance once every few years. It is also incredibly long-lasting and durable, meaning you won’t have to worry about replacing your roofing system for decades.
In conclusion, spray foam roofing is an ideal solution for commercial building owners looking to address the issues with their roofing systems. Re-roofing your commercial building with spray foam roofing can help to reduce your energy bills, increase your roof’s durability and create a long-lasting, seamless roofing system.
