Why Protective Coating Is So Important For Foam Roofs

When many people first hear of a foam roof, they imagine a surface where one’s feet will sink as they try to walk across it. However, since foam roofs always have a layer of protective coating applied to them, this does not happen. Since your roof is such a large investment, you need to do all you can to protect it for many years. If you are wondering why protective coating is such a vital component of foam roofing, keep these following tips in mind.

To begin with, a protective coating over your building’s foam roof will ensure it is adequately protected from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. Since any type of roof is subjected to these rays day in and day out, having a protective coating applied to your roof’s surface will allow it to last longer, helping you reap more from your investment.

While keeping your foam roof safe from the sun’s rays, the protective coating will also play a major role in making sure your roof does not experience issues with leaking or other types of water damage. Due to the protective coating hardening soon after its application, it provides an outer shell that fills all cracks and crevices, making sure no water gets through to start leaking. In addition, the coating is also resistant to mold and mildew, increasing its lifespan and keeping you from having to worry about these issues.

While it may sound as if a foam roof with a hard protective coating cannot contract and expand as temperatures change, that is not the case. In fact, a foam roof with protective coating can contract and expand far more easily than many other common roofing surfaces. As a result, whether temperatures go extremely high or low, you won’t have to worry about your roof being damaged. Along with this, your roof can expand and contract in conjunction with high winds that may be blowing, giving it an added level of protection.

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.
