Foam Roof Recoating Services: Extend the Lifespan of Your Roof

Recoating isn’t just maintenance; it’s a vital part of preserving your foam roof’s superior benefits:

Extended Lifespan

While an SPF roof can last a lifetime with proper maintenance, its outermost protective layers naturally wear down over years of exposure. Recoating every 15 to 20 years rejuvenates these layers, enabling your roof to continue performing like new.

Optimal Energy Efficiency

The white elastomeric coating applied to SPF roofs is designed to reflect sunlight, significantly reducing heat absorption. This “cool roof” effect can lower rooftop temperatures by over 50°F and contribute to a reduction of up to 40% in heating and cooling costs. Recoating ensures this reflectivity and insulation power remains at its highest, allowing foam roofing to remain over 500% more efficient than conventional roofs.

Continued Waterproofing & Leak Prevention

Your foam roof is a seamless, monolithic barrier. The protective coating shields the foam from degradation by the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can otherwise cause the foam to degrade at about 1/16” per year. Recoating preserves this watertight integrity, preventing moisture penetration and maintaining a healthier indoor environment.

Durability and Performance

Armstrong’s foam roofs are inherently strong and rigid, rated at 3LB density for high quality, and are designed not to pack down or sag. They are also flexible enough to withstand normal expansion and contraction without affecting their protective capabilities. By maintaining the protective coating through recoating, these fundamental properties of the foam roof are preserved, ensuring it continues to absorb impacts, resist punctures, and perform exceptionally even under extreme weather conditions like strong winds or hail.
