Many business owners have heard about the benefits of foam spray insulation for their roofs but they still have lingering questions about this tpe of product. Here are some of the most oft-asked questions and their corresponding answers.

Q: How long will the foam last?

A: The length of time the spray foam insulation will last really depends on how well it is maintained and what type of climate the business is in. Most experts agree that the insulation will last between 25-35 years on a new roof. After this, if the old insulation is cleaned off and fresh insulation is re-applied, the roof is essentially new again, so there will be another 25-35 years of life expectancy.

Q: Is it easy to apply?

A: Yes, it can be very easy to apply if you know what you are doing. However, it is highly suggested that a professional insulation company be hired to perform the job. This is a good idea because if something goes wrong, the installation company will be the ones responsible for re-applying the insulation or repairing any damages caused by misapplication. However, if you are intent on doing it yourself, there is a product that allows you to spray it on yourself.

Q: Is spray foam expensive?

A: As with most things, the cost really depends on what company you choose to perform the job. This is not the type of job where you want to get into extreme bargain hunting just to save a buck. The average cost for a square-foot of installed spray foam roofing installation will be around $2.50. However, there are contributing factors which can affect the cost. Such factors include the condition of the roof where the insulation is being installed. The thickness of the foam will also be a factor as to how much you pay for installation.

By choosing to install spray foam insulation on your roof, you are choosing to make a wise investment into both the bottom line and the safety of your business. Now is a good time to start looking into your options.
