The main campus of Texas A&M University boasts more than 7 million square feet of spray-applied polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing, and almost no other system has been installed at the campus for more than 30 years. Why? Proven energy efficiency, waste reduction and environmental responsibility, as well as long-term performance.
It all started in 1974, when the Physical Plant Department at Texas A&M began exploring options for reproofing some of its aging buildings. The university selected SPF because it is seamless, monolithic and fully adhered. And because it is lightweight, a complete tear-off of the existing tar and gravel built-up roofing (BUR) systems could be avoided.
