The application of SPF will provide better climate control within
a building envelope. Better climate control means reduced consumption of
fossil fuels, thereby reducing green house gases released into air. SPF
provides a continuous air barrier, preventing moisture infiltration
through air leakage, minimizing dew point problems and condensation
within the building envelope, avoiding thermal bridging, resisting heat
movement in all directions and providing reliable performance under
varying conditions.
By controlling moisture infiltration, SPF also providers greater
durability to buildings. The number one cause of building deterioration
is moisture within the building envelope. SPF’s climate control ability
enables a downsizing of the heating and cooling equipment of a building,
further reducing energy usage. There are no knowing ends of service life
figures for SPF. Generally, SPF shows little sign of deterioration of
change in physical properties even after 30 years. SPF used a commercial
or residential insulation typically requires no long-term maintenance.
SPF can add structural integrity to a building’s envelope.
SPF roofing systems can be applied directly over BUR, modified
bitumen, concrete wood, asphalt shingles, clay tile and metal. Since it
adds very little weight, SPF is used as a recover system over existing
roofs without the need for tear-off. This reduces the amount of
construction debris in landfills. SPF roofs are renewable with simple
recoats; the life of an SPF roof can be renewed indefinitely.
