Foam and Coatings are very often heard together, however they don’t necessarily have to both be used in a roofing system. Spray Polyurethane Foam is a materials used as an insulator under coating roof systems, however can also be used on the interior of buildings for insulation. The elastomeric coating is a fluid membrane that can be applied by either rolling the material on or by sprayer, primarily used when large areas are being covered. Coatings products have various formulas depending on the manufacturer and the use of the product. Coatings are primarily white in color, however, can be tinted depending on the product and manufacturer. Although used most often over metal surfaces, coatings can be applied to a variety of surfaces and over most roof membranes as a short-term “life extender” to an old roof system that is due for replacement.
