Are foam roofs environmentally friendly?
Foam roofs are friendly to the environment for several reasons. First, 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 foam lasts the life of the building and never has to be replaced. Second, foam is more energy efficient than any other flat roof system. Because 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, foam is 100% non-toxic. Our polyurethane foam is totally inert. During the installation process, tenants are safe to dwell inside of the property.
