Spray Foam Roofing
Qualifies for both Green Roofing and passes LEED Requirements |
Conklin's PUMA Coatings...
The ONLY Single Coat Roof Coating designed to be applied directly over new Spray Foam Application and over existing Conklin Roofing Systems that need to be Re-Coated.
It's Strong, Durable, Energy Efficient, Dirt Resistant and Stronger than any 2 coat system out there. Basically, it provides benefits to not only the Applicator - but also to the Building Owner as well! That is what Conklin is all about - Creating Long Lasting, Energy Efficient, Seamless Roofing Systems that are Durable, Renewable and create a Win - Win situation for All. |
Why Spray Foam Roofing?
Stops Leaks, Energy Loss From the Top Down
Conklin's SPF System is a great way to provide high-grade insulation on both roofing and interior wall applications for top-down protection from the elements. An SPF application effectively controls air infiltration, adds building strength, and reduces heating and cooling costs. During the restoration process, each problem area is systematically addressed, repaired and resealed; then the entire roof is sealed with a spray foam application, followed by an attractive and energy-saving finish coat.

Advantages of Conklin's (SPF) Roofing & Insulation System:
- Stops Leaks with Superior waterproofing
- Stops Lateral water seepage with the foam's closed-cell structure
- Increases Energy Efficiency and lowers utility expense with its cool, white reflective surface
- Extends the life of the roof
- Seals entire building's energy envelope when applied to roof and interior walls
Up Close cross section of Spray foam and Coatings
Since spray foam is applied directly to the substrate, it eliminates the ability for the roof to blow off in major storms, it eliminates water from migrating underneath of the roof. If you have a flat roof with a membrane on it right now, you know what I mean by that. It could be coming in at one spot and traveling to another. Spray foam roofing totally eliminates that from happening b/c if a leak develops, the damage is right above that leak. Most damage to a spray foam roof is easily repaired with a knife, rag and Conklin's 360s Urethane caulking.
What you notice on this picture is that Spray foam itself is the majority of the roof. Spray foam is not UV resistant and therefore, needs to be protected. Those protective coatings are extremely important to the long term success of your new spray foam roof and that is why we only recommend Conklin's SPF Roof Coatings. We recommend the following coatings for the best performance.

Is Spray Foam Repairable?
A spray foam roof is actually a very easy to repair, maintain and has a long lasting life. Since closed cell foam is made up of approximately 1 million closed cells per square inch, they do not take on water like a sponge. As a matter of fact, water will just sit in the hole. Repairs are done by cutting out all the wet (as over time, water will eventually migrate into the surrounding cells). So, by simply cutting out what is wet until you get to dry foam, then taking Conklin's 360's Urethane caulking and applying it into that hole to seal out the water. It's done!
If you have to remove something from your roof or if there is major damage to the roof, then just give us a call, let us know what is happening and we will be glad to schedule whatever is needed to ensure that your roof is waterproof and continues to remain waterproof for the life of the roof.

Is Spray Foam Durable?
"Can I walk on it?" "Is it Durable?" "How long does it take to dry?" - You know what they say, No question is a Dumb question. Spray foam has been around for over 30 years. The technology for applying just keeps getting better and better. Application techniques continue to progress forward, key here is, the foam applicator needs to know what they are doing in order to get the best results. Foam expands in 30 seconds and is fully cured in 5 minutes. 1 1/2" can be applied in one pass. It's a combination of 2 chemicals - ISO and Resin being pumped out by a proportioner unit at a 50/50 ratio. It's strong, it's durable but it requires a protective coating. And no - PAINT WILL NOT DO! (Sorry, I get asked that a lot) The protective coatings are extremely important for impact resistance, longevity, durability and ease of re-coating.
This picture shows a 1 1/2" piece of spray foam. Right one - just foam. Left one - Foam with Conklin's coatings on it. In order to pass a hail resistance test, a 1 lb steel ball has to be dropped from 20' to the surface. On the foam, it hit 1 time, and as you can see, made a nice impact and even broke to skin (still won't leak!). On the left side, in order to pass the test, the steel ball has to be dropped 2x in the same spot with the same 1 lb steel ball and has to provide the necessary expansion to not break the film. As you can see, Conklin's superior line of protective coatings passes the test with ease!
