Commercial & Residential Construction
Arithane only uses Quik-Shield spray foam, manufactured by SWD Urethane. We have been using this product for over 40 years because it is the best in the industry.
Quik-Shield spray foam roofing system consists of durable lightweight foam and a protective top coating. It is sprayed in place as a liquid that expands to fill cracks and crevices and then forms as a hard durable monolithic roof surface.
It is spray applied without mechanical fasteners, creating a seamless air barrier that can reduce air leakage by 83% and can save 40% or more of a building’s heating and cooling costs. In an average of 4.5 years, these energy savings combine to surpass the complete cost of the spray foam roof.
- Seamless Protection
- Energy Savings
- Greater Resale Value
- Lower Operating Expenses
- Lower Life Cycle Cost
Maintenance
Arithane recommends annual roof inspections and inspections after heavy storms to ensure roofs remain in peak condition Over 90% of roof leaks and system failures occur at the roof detail; a wall, metal edges, drains, and other roof-mounted equipment. Proper identification of these problems in a timely manner is essential to preventing replacement and extending the life of your roof. Begin your roof maintenance program by:
- Retaining a record of your roof’s maintenance services with your contractor and a second copy up on the roof (out of the weather in a roof hatch, for example).
- Keeping a checklist of conditions to look for during inspections and creating a reference file outlining what was and was not observed.
- Scheduling routine inspections and maintenance work to prolong the life of your roof system and, reveal areas that have the potential to create costly repairs if not corrected.
Leaks & Repairs
Leaks often occur with single-ply and built-up roof systems because it’s hard to completely seal joints, fasteners, and seams. 40% of these conventional roofs have serious problems within 1 year. And, when leaks occur, it is very difficult to pinpoint the problem location. Quik-Shield spray foam roof systems create a seamless, monolithic surface. Spray foam provides self-flashing around HVAC curbs, vents, and skylights, adding additional protection against leaks, moisture, and air infiltration.
- 97.6% of spray foam roofs do not leak at an average of 10 years
- No mechanical fasteners or seams
- Often, spray foam systems can be applied over existing problem roof
- Easy to apply proper slope to drain without any additional cost of labor and materials
- Minimizes ponding
