One of the most important and least appreciated components of any home or commercial building is its roof because as the saying goes, “Out of sight, out of mind.” Roofs are rarely thought about until of course the day they fail. Armstrong Foam Roofing, however, would like you to reimagine what a roof is for. It’s time to start thinking about an Armstrong foam roofing system for your home’s flat roof.
Over forty years ago, Armstrong discovered a revolutionary new product. Almost immediately it became apparent that the world of flat roofs had changed forever. Unlike every other flat and low slope roof that had come before, Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) cellular technology is seamlessly constructed so water and moisture cannot penetrate it, keeping you comfortable and your home safe from the elements.
Why Foam Roofing Is Perfect for San Francisco Bay Area Flat Roofs
Field-applied and custom-contoured spray foam fills voids, holes, and low areas enhancing drainage and increasing the overall stability of your roof, but there’s so much more. Your roof is one of your home’s most important barriers against temperature transfer. The fact is most roofs are extremely inefficient as much as 25% of the heat loss or gain happens at the roof and this costs both you and our environment. With summer temperatures continuing to rise, keeping your home cool and comfortable is becoming more and more expensive.
The Foam Roofing Solution for Your Flat Roof
Armstrong’s foam roofing system is the solution for any flat roof. Armstrong SPF roofing is the only roofing material that combines waterproofing and insulation into one integrated seamless system. Not only will foam roofing keep you and your home dry but its highest-rated insulating technology protects against heat in the summer and retains warmth in the winter for amazing year-round comfort.
The Foam Roofing Process
The application starts by spraying on a monolithic cellular membrane covering the entire roofing system. Then two layers of acrylic elastomeric coating are applied to ensure complete protection against UV degradation. Finally, a layer of durable granules is enthused into the elastomeric coating to create a super-strong seamless impenetrable waterproof system that if properly maintained is sustainable for up to 50 years or even a lifetime.
The Benefits of Your Foam Roofing Investment
With a foam roof, you’ll start seeing instant returns on your investment with lower heating and cooling bills. Sometimes up to 40% off your heating and cooling cost. And with Armstrong’s comprehensive warranty coverage, your home or building will be weather protected for years to come and that increases property value. Armstrong foam roofing delivers unparalleled weather protection and energy savings at the lowest life cycle cost of any roof system available. What’s more, you can feel good knowing you’re doing your part to reduce global warming, lower greenhouse gases, and help us to create a greener planet one roof at a time.
Benefits of Spray Foam Roofing for Your Flat Roof
- Increased Energy Efficiency: Spray foam roofing provides superior insulation, creating a tighter building envelope and reducing heating and cooling costs.
- Improved Durability: Spray foam roofing is highly resistant to wind, rain, and other damaging weather conditions.
- Lower Maintenance Costs: Spray foam roofing is a single-application system that is extremely low maintenance. You only have to recoat it approximately every 20 years to ensure it keeps performing like new for a lifetime.
- Enhanced Safety: Spray foam roofing is flame and fire-resistant, making it an ideal choice for homes and businesses in earthquake-prone areas.
- Increased Comfort: Spray foam roofing helps keep indoor temperatures comfortable, reducing the need for air conditioning.
- Minimize Mold Growth: Spray foam roofing helps minimize mold growth by creating a seamless and watertight barrier on the roof that prevents moisture from getting trapped in the roofing material and creating an environment where mold can grow. Additionally, the spray foam insulates the roof, which helps to keep the roof surface temperature more consistent, reducing the chance for condensation to form and causing mold growth.
- Improved Moisture Management: Spray foam roofing helps reduce the risk of moisture damage and increase indoor air quality.
- Extremely Lightweight: The weight of an Armstrong foam roofing system is around 60 lbs per 100 square feet, which is much lighter than the 600 lbs per 100 square feet of a typical built-up roofing system. Therefore, because of its lightweight nature, it can be applied to many existing roofing systems without putting too much extra strain on the walls and beams of your home or commercial building.
- Longer Lifespan: Spray foam roofing can last up to 50 years, or even a lifetime, with proper maintenance.
- Cost-Effective: Spray foam roofing is a cost-effective solution, paying for itself within 4 years, and offering long-term benefits.
