Spray polyurethane insulation foam, commonly referred to as SPF is a spray-applied insulating foam plastic that is installed as a liquid and then expands many times its original size. Spray insulation polyurethane foam can be adjusted and have many different physical properties depending on the use desired. For example, the same basic raw materials that can make insulation foam semi-rigid and soft to the touch also creates high density roofing foam that is resistant to foot traffic and water. Specialized equipment is used to apply the spray polyurethane foam and proper technical training is important in order to get the best results.
Spray insulation polyurethane foam is the king of building materials for multitasking. For moisture it can provide high levels of R-Value, while providing air barriers and assistance in moister control in buildings. For roofing, spray polyurethane foam insulates and eliminates thermal bridging through fasteners or gaps in decking while providing a long-lasting roofing system that has a life that can be extended by re-coating or recovering in an average of > 10 – 15 years. As a result spray polyurethane foam is used in a wide variety of applications including, but is not limited to:
(SPF) Spray Insulation Polyurethane Roofing Systems provide many benefits to building owners. The two most prominent benefits are waterproofing/leak prevention and spray insulation value. Many additional benefits also exist such as superior compressive strength, lightweight, self-flashing, durable and long lasting.
Are you looking for a sustainable roofing system for commercial and industrial applications that doesn’t leak, reduces life cycle costs, and contributes to overall building energy savings? With construction expenses increasing and greater awareness of the long-term affects of energy use, building owners and design professionals are looking for cost-effective alternatives to conventional roofs. Foam-LOK™ is the alternative; a system that provides builders, architects, and owners with roofing solutions that support energy conservation, eliminates leaks and builds confidence.
Life-Cycle Cost Reduction
With everyone trying to reduce expenses, coupled with the rising cost of building materials, it is essential to use products that reduce life cycle costs. Reducing maintenance is an important consideration in lowering the life cycle cost of a roof. Traditional roof systems require substantial maintenance activities that include conducting moisture test, repairing flashings, seams and patching holes and splits.
Eliminating seams and joints
Foam-LOK does exactly what it says, it locks every portion of the roof in to place, creating a monolithic membrane that eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners, the number one cause of roof leaks. Foam-LOK can also be applied to vertical surfaces and is self-flashing. |

Building proper drainage
Foam-LOK is spray applied to the roof’s surface making it possible to vary the thickness of the foam and ensure proper drainage. Proper drainage prevents ponding water, and helps protect your roof from leaks and potential roof failure. |

Repair vs. Replace
Foam-LOK is a rigid, closed-cell, spray polyurethane foam that is manufactured by Lapolla Industries. Foam-LOK can be applied over most roofing substrates. This application technology offers an option to either re-cover or repair existing roofs. The cost savings is realized by eliminating the construction cost of tearing off the entire roof and closing a facility/building for roof repairs. |
