When the Louisiana Superdome’s roof was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005, it was replaced with a SPF roof. The system, which utilizes Enovate insulating technology from Honeywell International, played an integral part in the quick turnaround. After Katrina, the state wanted a roof that would hold up against future storms. Having used SPF roofs on other state projects they were familiar with its performance under adverse weather conditions. These factors, along with guarantees and warranties offered by SPF roofing manufacturers, energy savings potential and sustainability helped the state of Louisiana make its decision.
