SPF Production and Installation
Our experienced field estimators begin the process by visiting your site personally, inspecting and measuring the existing structure thoroughly. A detailed estimate outlines the process of roof replacement. Unlike conventional roofs, an SPF roof from IRC seldom requires a tear-off of the existing roof. (A complete roof-tear-off adds time, expense and debris as well as the risk of damage to the interior of the building.)
The existing roof is thoroughly inspected by our installation professionals for moisture content, leaks and structural integrity. Any loose aggregate is removed using a roof vacuum, reducing the weight load on the roof and eliminating dirt and dust. Any necessary repairs to the deck or existing system are made at this point in the process.
Next, spray polyurethane foam is fluid-applied at a thickness of 1.5 - 2 inches (more if improved drainage or insulation is required). As the foam cures, it expands to approximately 20 times its original mass. Within minutes, it becomes a very rigid and durable insulating layer. An elastometric coating layer is then applied over the SPF to provide further protection from the elements.
