Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) has outstanding insulation properties when compared to traditional building materials and creates a monolithic membrane on all roofing substrates. This system will conform to all roof architecture and your creative design styles. Also, spray foam can provide energy savings not only for new construction but to be utilized for existing roof restoration as well. This course will provide an overview of the thermal performance benefits of roofing spray foam, specific applications for the material, and the importance of utilizing qualified applicators for the installation process.
