Environmentally Friendly Materials
Our Foam Roofing Materials are Environmentally Friendly
Our Foam Roofing products are free of the solvents and formaldehydes that burden many buildings with poor indoor air quality. The Dura-Foam Roofing System is composed entirely of non-toxic chemically inert products. Since all work is done from the outside of the building, life on the interior can proceed as usual during the construction process. The blowing agent used in the Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) contains no chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's).
Our Foam Roofing Materials Cure Quickly
The polyurethane foam cures within just a few minutes and the elastomeric coatings dry in just a few hours. Keep in mind, we usually recommend that customers wait a few days before walking on new roofs to assure that the rubberized coatings have sufficient time to harden.
You can "rest" assured the Dura-Foam Roofing System is made with environmentally friendly materials and is safe enough to sleep on.
"Rubberized" Acrylic Roof Coatings
The elastomeric Cool Roof coatings we use are acrylic based, just like interior wall paint. The main difference is that our coatings contain a lot more acrylic solids that allow them to be applied much thicker and also help them stay flexible with extreme exposure to weather and rain. The acyllic coatings we use are substantially more flexible than normal paint and is sometimes referred to as rubberized coating.
Dura-Foam Roofing Materials Are Safe Enough to Sleep on
The SPF used in the Dura-Foam Roofing System has molecular composition similar to that of memory foam, which is used in high quality mattresses. There are two key differences between memory foam and SPF foam roofing. First, memory foam is open cell, as opposed to our closed cell foam (i.e. our foam is waterproof and insulates well, while memory foam acts more like a sponge). Second, memory foam is not as firm as our durable foam roofing materials. Walking on a completed foam roof feels similar to walking on a concrete sidewalk. Because our foam roofing materials are safe enough to sleep on, you can "rest" assured that it is safe enough to put on your roof.
