EcoCenter Roof is Sealed up and Ready for Planting!
Friends:
Over the last week the EcoCenter roof was sealed up with a Foam in Place Poly-Urea system and an anti-uv acryclic topcoat. Here are some advantages to sealing the roof:
Highest "R" Value of up to 7.14 per inch enabling it to provide more thermal resistance with less material than any other insulation; Seamless - SPF forms a seamless insulated roofing system which mitigates leaking and water penetration;
Elimination of Ponding Water; Lightweight - ASPF weighs between 2-3 pounds per cubic foot. And most importantly it will support our living roof system!
