FAQ

WHAT IS THE R-VALUE OF SPRAY FOAM?

The R-Value of spray foam insulation is R-7 per inch.  So 2 inches of spray foam is R-14, 3 inches is an R-value of 21 and so on.

CAN YOU APPLY SPRAY FOAM DURING WINTER MONTHS?

Yes, but it is much more of a challenge.  The surface where the foam is being applied must be around 50 degrees F or higher in order for the spray foam to properly stick and expand. Heaters are used to preheat the building in order for a successful application.

Wood frame building are much easier to heat in the winter compared to steel buildings. Steel buildings require a special "winter foam" which can tolerate a lower surface temperature.  

​

So yes, we can foam during the winter months, however prices will reflect winter conditions.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR APPLYING POLYURETHANE TO A ROOF?

Leaky flat roof? Polyurethane is a great solution to prevent leaks and also to add R-value to your building.

​

The process depends on the type of roof that we are repairing. If you have a tar and rock roof, all of the rock will have to be removed and the roof pressure washed in order to ensure that the polyurethane sticks and foams a good bond.  

​

If your roof is a metal roof or a previously foamed roof, we will wash and prep accordingly then apply the spray foam.

​

After the polyurethane is applied to your roof, we will apply a top coating or either silicone or acrylic (customers choice) to protect the spray foam.
