Spray Polyurethane Foam, when used as a roofing material, is a form of plastic that turns from an applied liquid, to a durable solid in a matter of a few seconds. As it dries, the volume of the polyurethane foam increases up to 30 percent. It has proven to be the most cost-effective, sustainable forms of roofing available today. To increase its value, it works as an insulation and waterproofing agent at the same time.
