SURFACE
PREPARATION |
| On existing
built-up roofs, loose gravel and dirt are removed by power
brooming and vacuuming. If necessary, blisters and saturated
areas are removed. Sandblasting and/or priming are applied to
metal surfaces as required. Most roofing surfaces are also
primed prior to foaming. |

FOAM
APPLICATION |
| Polyurethane foam
is applied with a two component proportioning machine. This
provides mixing of the components on the spray gun. The foam is
applied as a liquid and rises in a matter of seconds. Within
minutes, the surface is firm enough to be walked upon. The roof
is sprayed to design thickness. Flashings, penetrations and
parapet walls are sprayed to form one monolithic surface.
Depressions due to roof sagging can be built up by spraying to
facilitate proper drainage. |

INDUSTRIAL
COATING |
| After curing of the
foam surface, an industrial elastomeric coating is applied. This
weather resistant coating is normally applied in two or more
coats for uniform coverage. These coatings are designed to
withstand water, ultraviolet radiation and normal wear for many
years of service. The use of a white coating further reduces
heat load and thermal stress in the structure. |
