Save Energy Costs with Foam Roofing in Oklahoma

by | Jan 20, 2014 | Roofing

Polyurethane foam roofing has some tremendous advantages over any other roofing material for flat roofs in Oklahoma City. The foam is sprayed onto the old roof or a new roof in a seamless waterproof application. Foam roofing offers the advantage of being self-flashing because during installation, the foam flows around any opening in the roof thereby sealing the area. The foam roof is nearly 100 percent leak proof. It has no fasteners to work around, so this also prevents leaks. The foam can be installed with a moderate slope to allow water runoff from the main roof area.

Foam Roofing in Oklahoma is totally seamless, which is an advantage over the built-up roofing and the EPDM roofing installed in sheets. Even if a hole is punched in the foam, water will be contained in the hole. The holes are easily patched with just a caulk. A leak in any other roofing will allow the water to spread and cause the insulation to become wet, and eventually, the decking will rot. This is a problem with these roofing materials on a flat roof, but not with foam roofing.

The polyurethane Foam Roofing in Oklahoma saves money because of its insulating qualities. The material is a high-grade insulation, which keeps the building warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. If the foam roof is installed on top of the existing roof, then the insulating qualities of that roof are retained.

No mechanical fasteners are used which can result is a leak and allow water to penetrate the insulation and the decking. The capability of foam to wrap around every opening in the roof where a vent may exist is leak protection that cannot be guaranteed with ordinary flashing and any sealant.
The foam roof provides these benefits:

  • Energy efficient
  • Waterproof
  • Economical
  • Durable
  • Long Lasting
  • Strong
  • Unusually high performance
