Foam Roofing – Green Choice?

Foam roofing is basically polyurethane foam roofing with a plastic membrane. Its use is widespread in Arizona and throughout the southwest, specifically because it helps keep homeowners cool by being extremely white in shade and reflective of sunlight with it still being waterproof. If you could, picture the difference between a white shingle roof on a hot summer day and a white foam roof on a hot desert day. They’re almost identical in how much heat they can shade and reflect, especially in Arizona where the temperatures can get very hot. As one of many options for protecting your home in Arizona, you want to make sure you’re choosing the right one for your home and job.

When looking at different types of foam roofing, also known as the ‘hot roof’ due to its high temperature resistance. This is one of the most popular types of foam roofing because it is made with an extremely thick layer of foam which makes it highly durable and very efficient at blocking the sun. This means that you won’t need to spend hours painting your roof since it will be equally effective no matter what your time frame is. The only downside of this type of foam roof is its odor, which can be quite unpleasant depending upon the area of the country you live in, but it’s easily removed by simply spraying disinfectant of some sort onto the surface. You’ll find this type of foam roofing in a lot of Phoenix and surrounding areas.

For those who care about both their environment and energy efficiency, uPVC may be the better choice. While it isn’t nearly as durable or as resistant to weather as traditional foam roofing, it does have one distinct advantage over it – cost. It doesn’t cost nearly as much per square foot to install and can last for many years without needing any maintenance. As it is resistant to sunlight, wind, and rain, it is often seen on decks, patios, and other non-sheltered areas. One of the best benefits of uPVC is that it offers excellent energy efficiency, making it the perfect material for anyone seeking to reduce their carbon footprint.

In 2004 Foam Experts installed a new foam roof on our 2 story townhouse. The whole process was easy and informative. They came out periodically, for free, to check the roof’s condition and do any necessary minor repairs. In 2014 and again in May 2022 we had them recoat the surface after a complete inspection. We have never had any leaks or issues with our roof. We love working with Todd and Marianne and really appreciate their excellent customer service and top notch quality of work.

It was a pleasure working with this company, from first contact for inspection and a quote, to our finished foam roof project. Their crew and crew leader were courteous, professional and friendly, and cleaned up so thoroughly each day, it was as if they had not even been there. Of course, no homeowner really knows how well the job was done until the next rainfall. The ultimate test was passed with an A+ when, a couple of weeks later, rain came down hard in torrents on two different days. I highly recommend Foam Experts Roofing, Inc.
