How does PolyFoam™ work?
Gaco Western PolyFoam™ is closed cell, monolithic polyurethane foam. As PolyFoam™ is sprayed in place, the foam bonds to the substrate and becomes part ofthe structure. Forming a thick, seamless barrier, PolyFoam™ seals penetrations, voids and junctions. Manufactured in a variety of densities, PolyFoam™ is easily applied to roofs of any shape, size or slope. Protected by a Gaco Western elastomeric coating, the PolyFoam™ system creates a sustainable roof that can be rejuvenated by periodic application of a new topcoat.
The PolyFoam™ Advantage
PolyFoam™ roofing systems offer solutions to many common problems caused by other roofing systems. Seams, penetrations and parapet walls are the major source of leaks in most roof systems. PolyFoam™ seamless, self-flashing roof systems stop flashing leaks in problem areas. This sprayed-inplace, durable foam conforms and adheres to any shape.
Prevent Leaks Common to Conventional Roof Systems
With a conventional roof system, rainwater often migrates under the roofing material. This lateral migration makes it very difficult to find and repair a leak. The PolyFoam™ roof system adheres completely to the substrate, preventing water migration. In the unlikely event that a foam roofis penetrated through its entire thickness, water migration is limited to a small area, generally no larger than the penetration itself. In most cases, temporary repairs to a small hole can be made with caulk.
