Spray Foam Roof Coated by Neal Lambright

A network contractor serving Pueblo, Colorado. Spray polyurethane foam gives the roof a seamless, insulated surface, but bare foam breaks down in sunlight. A Conklin white reflective topcoat protects the foam, seals the rooftop penetrations, and reflects heat off the building.

Before: bare tan spray polyurethane foam roof on a commercial building in Pueblo, Colorado, uncoated and exposed to sunlight — **Before:** bare spray foam, uncoated and exposed to UV.

After: the same Pueblo, Colorado spray foam roof finished with a bright white Conklin reflective coating and sealed rooftop vent — **After:** Conklin white reflective coating over the foam, vents sealed.
