How Is Foam Roofing Installed or Applied by Glick Brothers Roofing Experts?

The first thing our spray foam insulation contractors will do is prepare the existing roof, or substrate. As long as the existing roof isn't damaged, preparation usually involves removing dirt, dust, and, contaminants. Our expert roofers will also perform a thorough inspection of your existing commercial roof to ensure that there are no issues that need to be addressed before spray on roofing can be applied.

After making sure that the existing roof is ready, our spray foam contractors will then put down the first layer of foam. The "foam" is created from the mixture of two liquids – a polyol/resin and an isocyanate. It's applied to the existing substrate. The liquid then expands to form a solid surface without any seams or imperfections.

After the foam has fully expanded, the initial layer is typically about 1-1/2 inches thick. Because polyurethane spray foam insulation is able to adhere to most roofing surfaces, it can usually be effectively used on any type of roof slope. After the initial SPF layer is in place, it can then be coated with additional layers and coatings. The purpose of doing is to provide added protection from:

• Direct sunlight and UV light
• The elements
• Normal wear and tear

After urethane foam insulation has been fully applied along with the additional layers needed to achieve the necessary fire rating, you'll be left with a commercial roof surface that is seamless, resistant to moisture, and highly durable. Polyurethane spray foam insulation can also be applied to the underside of roof sheathing to increase a commercial roof's insulation capabilities.
