Polyurethane Spray Foam Roofing Oakland, CA

We specialize in polyurethane spray foam roofing also known as SPF roofing, spray foam roofing, foam roofing or spray on roofing. We can do spray on roofing for residential properties, mobile homes, commercial properties, industrial properties, agricultural properties, cold storage roofing or pretty much any other building with a roof. We are the spray foam contractors in Oakland to call about your foam roofing or cool roofing project. We handle all types of buildings and will always get the job done right the first time.

Polyurethane spray foam roof systems offer high energy efficiency spray-in-place foam insulation for thermal and moisture control. Polyurethane foam is the most efficient form of thermal insulation commercially available. The systems usually pay for themselves in 2 to 6 years through energy/cooling savings costs and maintenance savings. Our foams systems are LEED qualified and are green building materials.

Our systems do not contain harmful chemicals and they can usually be applied over existing roofing systems, providing an environmentally friendly solution that saves demolition/tear off and rebuilding costs. Installation is quick and there is no known end to the service life of a properly maintained SPF insulated foam roofing system. Our solutions exceed current Title 24 requirements. 10, 15, and 20 year labor and material warranties are available for your peace of mind.

SPF or spray polyurethane foam is a spray applied insulating plastic foam. Two chemical components are combined as they pass through a spray gun and contact the substrate as a liquid. As the two components chemically react, they expand up to 20x in volume to form a strong, rigid material with a density of 2.5 to 3.0 pounds per cubic foot with a compressed of 40 to 50 pounds per square inch.

SPF roofing is “green” roofing, renewable and sustainable. With proper maintenance and re-coating at 20 year intervals, SPF will last the life of the building. The bright white topcoat meets “Cool Roof,” Energy Star, and LEED Certification requirements. It can provide high levels of R-value, while providing air barriers and assistance in moisture control in buildings. It also insulates and eliminates thermal bridging through fasteners and gaps in insulation boards.

The SPF or Foam roof system

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF or "foam") roof systems provide a seamless, monolithic application. The roof system has excellent adhesion properties and can be an outstanding roof system where wind uplift is a concern.

The process

Spray polyurethane foam roofs are applied in a two-part liquid process that dries quickly to form a seamless waterproof barrier. This barrier adds insulation and can be field fabricated to provide taper and slope so the roof can drain effectively. Spray foam roofs provide increased insulation and reflectivity and, among other various attributes, are fire resistant.

Coating

Once the roof is installed, it is then coated. The coating protects the "foam" from ultraviolet degradation. For added protection and slip resistance, granules can be broadcasted into the roof coating. We can also provide a cementitious layer that can be used as the coating over the spray polyurethane foam roof system. This provides a very durable finish that is excellent for high traffic roof areas.
