Modular Buildings With Foam Roofs

Modular Buildings come with many types of roof coverings.  In this series we are highlighting a few of the more common choices.    Modular buildings can have foam roofs.   What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of a foam roof covering?

Modular Building With Foam Roof Advantages

• Lower energy bills. One of the benefits of foam roofing is that it offers superior insulation properties
• Another benefit of installing foam is that it offers unique waterproofing qualities.
• Flexible installation- around items on the roof, spray foam roofs are seamless.
• Maintain structural integrity, no need for special load calculations or design criteria, lighter weight than other roofing systems in the marketplace
• Foam roofing directs rain to the drain.
• New generation of covering is no longer susceptible to birds & bug invasions, with a top layer of granules. 

Modular Building With Foam Roof DISADVANTAGES:

• Not all contractors are created equal, sometimes contractors will overspray or cover items not intended resulting in additional work to clean things up
• foam roofs can be damaged by hail and elements, suggest full inspections a minimum of 2x per year, and then immediately seal or repair any damages.
• Slightly more expensive than some systems, and recoat is required at about 5-10 year term

I hope this series of roof choice options has been beneficial - We are here to help you make educated and informed buying decisions for your new modular buildings.
