Top 4 Financial Advantages of Foam Roofing in Arizona

Foam roofs provide a waterproof seal. The primary purpose of a roof is to protect the building from water damage. Foam roofs excel at this as they have no seams, fit tightly against vents and other roof structures and is not easily damaged by exposure to the elements. For example, metal roofs corrode and warp and shingle roofs can be damaged by lichen, moss and other fungi. However, foam roofs do more than just protect a building from the elements, they also help building owners to save money in a number of different ways. 

Fast Installation 

Foam roofing installs quickly compared to other types of roofing material. This helps a building owner to save money in two primary ways. The most immediate way is that there is less labor cost to installing a foam roof. In addition, the foam roof installation process is less disruptive to a building making it easier for a business to operate as usual. 

Long Life 

Foam roofing requires little maintenance and can be expected to have a long service life. Though a foam roof should be periodically inspected and occasionally recoated, a foam roof should outlast the building itself. A roof should be checked annually and recoated about every 5-10 years. As a well-maintained roof will last indefinitely, a foam roof will result in significant financial savings over the life of the building. 

Repel Solar Heat 

The Arizona summers provide some of the hottest temperatures in the United States. As the solar heat from the sun beats down on buildings, it can greatly increase the temperature of the building itself. The increase in temperature result in higher energy costs to keep the building cool. By adding a foam roof, a majority of the solar heat will be reflected back up away from the building. This will keep the building cooler and energy costs lower. 

Prevent Conditioned Air Loss 

Just as the foam roof will help prevent solar enter from entering the building, the foam roof will also prevent the cool conditioned air from escaping the building. The foam roofing material itself will create an insulating area that can work in conjunction with interior insulation. Foam roofs are also airtight so they will not allow drafts to leak cool air through the roof like most other materials.
