Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Roof Systems
Lester’s Carpentry has effectively implemented Conklin®’s spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roof systems on numerous commercial buildings. This cutting-edge, lightweight coating forms a versatile, seamless, and water-resistant barrier, safeguarding the complete roof system and the underlying structure against heat, leaks, and weather-induced harm, thereby extending the roof’s lifespan. Moreover, it eliminates the need for frequent commercial roof repairs and replacements.
Developed almost a century ago by Otto Bayer, an industrious chemist, polyurethane foam spray has become one of the world’s most extensively employed coatings, renowned for its exceptional insulation and cushioning capabilities. During World War II, polyurethane was even utilized as a substitute for rubber.
The remarkable insulation and “cool roof” qualities of this system provide substantial energy cost reductions, making it extremely advantageous for commercial buildings. In Pennsylvania’s diverse climate, the financial benefits are such that the system essentially pays for itself in 7 years or less. Furthermore, its exceptional solar reflectivity contributes to maintaining cooler indoor spaces, resulting in reduced strain on HVAC equipment. Our polyurethane foam spray roofing system is compatible with a wide range of existing and aging surfaces, including BUR, composite, concrete, modified bitumen, and wood.
Say Goodbye To Roof Tear-offs
The conventional approach to roof replacement involves the laborious and costly task of removing the original roofing materials, which significantly increases the upfront expenses of commercial roof replacements. Moreover, disposing of these materials in landfills poses environmental concerns. One of the remarkable advantages of Conklin’s spray polyurethane foam (SPF) and its other acrylic elastomeric coatings, including Benchmark®, Equinox®, PUMA® XL, and Rapid Roof® III, is their ability to eliminate the need for expensive roof tear-offs and replacements. These coatings exhibit superior adhesion properties and can be directly applied to your existing substrate. The foam efficiently fills any holes or voids, spreading seamlessly across the surface and fortifying your current roofing system, regardless of its shape or size.
Don’t Replace Your Roof – Renew It
With our Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing (SPF) Systems, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your aging roof, ensuring years of exceptional performance and leak-free protection. Additionally, SPF proves to be a low-maintenance roofing system, as a straightforward maintenance recoating is all it takes to refresh its outstanding roof protection, eliminating the need for a costly roof replacement. Moreover, a recoating offers the opportunity to extend the warranty on your SPF roofing system, providing you with added peace of mind.

Fun Facts About Polyurethane
1. Versatility: Polyurethane is a highly versatile material that can be found in a wide range of products, including polyurethane foam spray insulation, furniture, footwear, adhesives, coatings, and sealants.
2. Foam Innovation: Polyurethane foam was first developed in the 1930s by researchers at the German chemical company IG Farben. Since then, it has become one of the most widely used insulation materials worldwide.
3. Memory Foam: One popular type of polyurethane foam is memory foam, which was originally developed by NASA in the 1960s to improve the safety of aircraft cushions. Today, memory foam is commonly used in mattresses, pillows, and other bedding products for its ability to contour to the body and provide pressure relief.
4. Durability: Polyurethane is known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. It can withstand exposure to sunlight, moisture, and chemicals, making it suitable for outdoor applications such as sealants and coatings.
5. Buoyancy: Polyurethane is highly buoyant, which makes it ideal for use in flotation devices, life jackets, and marine applications where buoyancy is critical for safety.
6. Thermal Insulation: Polyurethane foam spray has excellent thermal insulation properties, making it an effective choice for insulating buildings, refrigerators, and other appliances to improve energy efficiency.
7. Mold Resistance: Some types of polyurethane foam such as polyurethane spray foam are formulated to resist mould and mildew growth, making them suitable for use in humid or damp environments.
8. Fire Resistance: Polyurethane foam can be engineered to meet fire safety standards, with formulations available that provide flame retardant properties for applications where fire resistance is important. Polyurethane Foam Spray is an example of a flame retardant version of polyurethane.
