Closed cell spray foam insulation in commercial use

 

Advantages for building owners and architects:


  •  Offers highest R-value per inch; decreases heating and cooling expenses
  •  Reduces installation time and cost
  •  Enhances resistance to wind uplift and hail damage
  •  Adds structural strength
  •  Provides a monolithic seamless roof system
  •  Acts as seamless air barrier
  •  Restricts bulk water and vapor transmission
  •  Reduces sound transmission
  •  Does not shrink or settle
  •  Reduces structural waste

Advantages for contractors:

  •  Reduces installation time and cost
  •  Provides a monolithic seamless roof system
  •  Reduces structural waste
  •  Restricts bulk water and vapor transmission
  •  Does not shrink or settle
