Why We Chose SPF for Roofing

When it comes to roofing solutions, not all materials are created equal. At IRC, the largest spray foam roofing contractor in the United States, we’ve had decades to evaluate what works best for our clients. Since 1974, we’ve installed over 140 million square feet of roofing, primarily spray polyurethane foam (SPF). The verdict? SPF has consistently proven itself as the most efficient, versatile, and sustainable choice for various building needs.

But what makes SPF roofing truly stand out, and why do leading organizations across the U.S. continue to trust us with their spray foam roofing systems? We’re here to break it down for you.


Performance That Speaks for Itself

A roof is only as good as its performance, and SPF roofing exceeds expectations in every way. Composed of a seamless, durable foam layer, SPF creates a monolithic barrier that conforms to every inch of your roof, providing a level of protection and insulation unmatched by traditional materials. It’s flexible yet strong, ensuring it delivers long-lasting results in virtually any environment.

At IRC, we focus on delivering systems that endure. Our SPF roofs resist cracking, peeling, and splitting—even in temperature extremes, giving building owners absolute peace of mind for years to come.


Fast Installation Without Disruption

We know every minute counts for business owners. That’s why the speed of SPF installation is a game-changer. Unlike traditional roofing systems that are labor-intensive and time-consuming, spray foam can be applied directly over most existing roofs without the need for costly and disruptive tear-offs.

Our highly trained crew quickly applies SPF to create a seamless roofing system, letting you focus on your business while we focus on your roof.


Unmatched Energy Savings

One of the greatest advantages of SPF roofing is its incredible energy efficiency. Acting as both a waterproof roofing system and a high-performance insulation layer, SPF minimizes thermal bridging and significantly reduces energy consumption.

Here’s how it works:

  • Superior Insulation – SPF offers some of the highest R-values of any roof insulation system, helping regulate indoor temperatures and keep your building comfortable year-round.
  • Cool Roof System – When combined with a reflective roof coating, SPF can deflect heat and reduce cooling loads by up to 30%.
  • Lower Utility Costs – Building owners report significant reductions in energy bills year after year, making SPF an investment that pays for itself.

Seamless, Self-Flashing Protection

Roof leaks are every building owner’s nightmare. Unlike traditional roofs with seams and joints that are prone to failure, SPF roofing forms a seamless, self-adhering layer that eliminates the weak points where leaks typically occur.

Additionally, SPF’s self-flashing properties allow it to fully adhere to roof penetrations, pipes, vents, and other irregular areas, creating an all-encompassing protective shield. It’s no wonder SPF is widely regarded as the ultimate waterproof roofing system.


Versatility Across Building Types

From industrial plants and warehouses to office complexes and schools, SPF roofing is versatile enough to meet a wide range of demands. Its adaptability and ability to bond with almost any substrate make it a reliable solution for new construction, roof replacements, or restorative applications.

At IRC, we tailor solutions for each client’s unique needs. Whether it’s a simple retrofit or a complex roof design, SPF rises to the challenge every single time.
