Are Dura-Foam roofs environmentally friendly?
Dura-Foam roofs are friendly to the environment for several reasons. First, Dura-Foam roofs greatly reduce landfill waste because existing roof membranes are left on the roof surface and used as a substrate for applying the foam roof system. Also, landfill waste is reduced with foam roofs because Dura-Foam lasts the life of the building and never has to be replaced. Second, Dura-Foam is more energy efficient than any other flat roof system. Because Dura-Foam is classified as a Cool Roof System, it reduces “Urban Heat Islands” (increased outdoor temperatures in cities due to excessive concentration of dark roads and roof surfaces). Third, Dura-Foam is 100% non-toxic. Our polyurethane foam is totally inert. During the installation process, tenants are safe to dwell inside of the property.
