Coating Roofs With Durable Spray Foam Products and Solutions

Spray Foam Roofing also known as Spray Polyurethane Foam roofing and SPF, is the most durable of the fluid-applied roofing materials. It is virtually impenetrable. It completely seals roofs from water infiltration. Spray foam adds structural strength and acts as the glue holding a home or building together. SPF roofing is resistant to extreme Florida weather and especially hurricanes.

Pooling water is not an issue with spray polyurethane foam roofing since it won’t settle or sag and damage is typically isolated and easily fixed. Spray polyurethane foam is an excellent insulator with a high R-value. It is exceptionally energy-efficient, usually paying for itself in a few years with energy savings. It is an Energy Star-qualified product that will qualify for Federal Tax Credits. Your spray polyurethane roof can be sustained practically indefinitely with regular maintenance and recoating every 10 to 20 years. It doesn’t contain any formaldehyde or ozone-depleting chemicals.

Fluid Applied Roofing products have been available for 30 years or more, but only in the last 15 years have they been perfected and widely used. Fluid Applied roofing is the process of coating an existing flat roof or metal roof system with multiple coats of an elastomeric roof coating to “create” a new roof system that is waterproof, seamless, and reflective. In the case of most flat roofs and all metal roofs, it is by far the MOST INEXPENSIVE way to reroof a building. A well-installed, fluid-applied roof will last 10 to 20 years and save a significant amount of energy and money by reflecting heat. Fluid-applied roofs usually pay for themselves in 5 years in energy savings. If a fluid-applied roofing system is used before complete or catastrophic failure of the existing roof it is unnecessary to tear the old roof off. They are available with leak-free manufacturer warranties and maintenance packages.

Conventional roofers are not qualified to install fluid-applied roofs. It is critical to choose a contractor who has the necessary experience with fluid applied roofing. The mixing of the chemicals and the application of the roofing material are skills that take training and experience to master. As one of the pioneering fluid-applied roofing contractors in the area with over 20 years of fluid-applied roofing, A to Z Coatings has mastered all of the accepted applications of fluid-applied roofing. A to Z Coatings is proud to have Walmart as a repeat client and as a point of fact, has mandated that all of its stores use fluid-applied roofing. That is a strong endorsement of the system.

R-Value

Insulation is rated in terms of thermal resistance or R-value which indicates the resistance to heat flow. The higher number assigned as the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness.

Elastomeric Coatings

For Roofs and Exterior Painting Elastomeric (non-bituminous) coatings are durable liquids that when applied to a surface will expand and contract with existing weather conditions without separating or cracking. It is an excellent material for roof repair and exterior painting. Elastomeric coatings create a uniform seamless surface that conforms to extreme temperatures and does not add weight to the structure.

 Elastomeric Coatings for Roofs and Roof Repair

Typically, elastomeric coatings are excellent for repairing leaks and can be used to restore virtually any type of roof. It will extend the life of the roof and improve its energy efficiency. Because of its reflective quality and ability to insulate, elastomeric roof coatings are Energy Star certified and meet LEED requirements.

Elastomeric Coating for Painting Exterior Surfaces

Many consider elastomeric painting to be the superior painting product. There is no material better for waterproofing and it is approved for virtually any surface. It is used widely for paining stucco and concrete. It fills cracks upon application which saves a step in the painting process. It outperformed acrylic paint 2 to 1 in tests. A to Z Coatings offers elastomeric paint in almost any color.

 Elastomeric coatings contain polymeric materials like acrylic and contain titanium dioxide, which gives them their white pigment and reflective qualities. There are several types of elastomeric coatings. They are:

  • Acrylic elastomeric coating
  • Butyl elastomeric coating
  • Polyurethane elastomeric coating
  • Silicone elastomeric coating
