Foam Coating in Alexandria Virginia
about
What is Roof Foam Coating?
The term spray foam refers to the application process. Roofing contractors spray liquid foam over the roof surface with a pressurized machine and hose. As the product leaves the application gun, the products are atomized and mixed in two tanks. Every tank has a different component.
The roof is covered with foam, which expands, then solidifies. Creating a seamless system, it eliminates the need for flashing around the perimeter
Lifespan
What is the Lifespan of Spray Foam Coating?
Spray foam roofs typically last for 20 years after installation. This is the standard warranty period, but the roof will likely last much longer. Generally, the warranty period is determined by the thickness of the foam and the coating, and applying more of one or both will generally extend it.
