Commercial building owners and managers
Get prepared and stay protected. Commercial spray foam roofing systems offer superior wind and hail resistance, providing protection against the strongest weather. Additionally, you will save on heating and cooling costs with commercial spray foam, a system that offers the highest R-value, superior reflectivity and emissivity values, and eliminates thermal shorts.
Spray foam roofing system offers you the following benefits:
For commercial walls & foundations
Higher energy efficiency – Exceptional air sealing coupled with R-values greater than 6 per inch, result in heating & cooling cost savings. Drafts are virtually eliminated and a more constant and comfortable indoor environment and temperature is maintained.
Increased structural strength - Research performed has shown 2x4 stud walls with closed-cell spray foam can support up to three times greater racking loads (structural resistance to wind) than other insulation materials.
Improved indoor air quality – Helps prevent uncontrolled outdoor air infiltration and the penetration of dust, pollen and other allergens, creating a cleaner and more comfortable work environment.
Better moisture and condensation control - Closed-cell spray foam offers superior performance in resisting moisture transmission and condensation because of its low water vapor permeance.
Building Envelope barrier - Spray foam can help reduce noise transfer and sound penetration because of its Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 37. It also has the ability to control air flow because it is an excellent air barrier. It even has the ability to control insects and rodents from entering the building because it acts as a continuous seamless building envelope barrier.
For commercial roofs
Longer life cycle - Polyurethane spray foam roof systems that use Honeywell’s Enovate blowing agent can save building owners both time and money. Spray foam roof systems are backed by manufacturer warranties for periods of 5, 10, 15, or 20 years. Renewable warranties that extend beyond those listed above are available based on re-inspection and regular service and maintenance to the system as outlined by the roof system manufacturer.
Higher energy efficiency - Polyurethane spray foam has the highest R-value per inch of any roof insulation system, reducing both heating and cooling costs. Spray foam roofs also eliminate thermal transfer in and out of the building at insulation joints and mechanical fasteners. This can add up to 16-23% in energy efficiency over other board insulation products. And because it has a highly reflective white surface, it provides superior reflectivity and emissivity properties. Spray foam roof manufacturers are listed on the ENERGYSTAR® Roof Products Program, Green Globes and USGBC LEED rating system. In addition, Oak Ridge National labs (ORNL) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) document the energy, reflective performance and savings from spray foam roof systems.
Increased structural strength - spray foam roofing systems offer superior wind and hail resistance, even in the strongest weather. According to a recent report by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), spray foam roofing systems observed in the damage zones of Hurricane Katrina sustained the winds extremely well. Because of the unique physical performance characteristics of polyurethane spray foam roof systems the building is protected from severe weather such as storms, hail, and high winds.
Faster installation, easier maintenance – spray foam roofs provide both waterproofing and insulation, providing a considerable time-savings in the construction process. A spray foam roof is watertight within 30 seconds of being applied. Additionally, because they are fast and easy to apply, the building owner experiences minimal business interruption and inconvenience during installation. Spray foam installation utilizes a smaller crew, saving owners money on both labor and insurance costs.. Spray foam roofs are also very easy to maintain and repair due to simple, user friendly application processes, and commonly available materials.
Green & sustainable - spray foam roofs can be re-coated at the end of their warranty period to extend the warranty and the life of the roof investment. It is an excellent choice for those seeking Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System certification. Enovate produces no harmful ozone depleting emissions and it is not a VOC by US federal standards. Honeywell Enovate spray foam blowing agent produces no harmful ozone-depleting effect and was awarded a 2002 EPA Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award.
