Foam roofing, or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing, is a roofing system that consists of a layer of foam applied directly to the roof surface, which then hardens and forms a durable, seamless layer. It is typically covered with a protective coating to enhance its durability and energy efficiency.
Foam roofing offers numerous benefits, including excellent insulation properties, reduced energy costs, seamless and waterproof coverage, lightweight application, and long-lasting durability. It also provides a high R-value, which enhances thermal resistance.
With proper installation and maintenance, foam roofing can last 20-30 years or more. Regular inspections and recoating every 10-15 years can significantly extend its lifespan.

Foam roofing requires minimal maintenance, but regular inspections are crucial. Recoating the foam every 10-15 years helps maintain its protective layer and ensures longevity. Cleaning debris and checking for damage after severe weather is also recommended.
Urethane foam roofs are made of spray foam insulation with the highest R-value. They are then coated with a white elastomeric seamless coating which makes them the most energy-efficient roofs on the market. According to American Chemistry Council Inc, spray foam insulation can reduce a building's energy usage by 40-70%.
