Polyurethane Foam to Save On Total Re-Roofing

December 7th, 2010

Commercial roofing projects can be costly and involve long-term work, which is a deterrent to getting the work done. However, there are alternatives to completely re-roofing your commercial building, which will not only save money up front on the roof installation cost but also continue to provide savings based on energy consumption.

Polyurethane foam roofing not only offers a less expensive solution to your roofing needs. It also saves a great deal on commercial energy costs with greater insulation over time. There is also less work involved in applying polyurethane roofing. First, the existing roof is cleaned, then an inch to an inch and a half of foam is applied. A base coat is added, then a top coat is applied to the new surface.

Because you eliminate the need for the tearing off and disposal of the old roof, you save a great deal of money up front. This is a costly portion of any roofing job, and choosing a Cleburne roofing contractor who can help you save this expense is a great alternative to re-roofing. Also, the labor costs are less because the job doesn’t take as long without the removal of the old roof. But you also save because polyurethane roofing has 85% reflectivity, which means it is bouncing away a great deal of heat and energy otherwise absorbed from sunlight. That makes heating and cooling more efficient and saves you money.

Another benefit of polyurethane roofing is sealing seams and fasteners, which are the weak points of any roof. Because this type of roof has no seams, you can avoid a great many disasters and leaks. Damage to polyurethane is also easily repaired, should you be victim to falling tree limbs or hail storms. It is a lightweight material and won’t exceed capacity of your commercial structure. And, you can add granules to the top of the roof so that it has the appearance of asphalt roofing. Contact a Cleburne roofing specialist today for more information or to get an estimate.
