[quote]Tim, you said there was no documentation on savings from SPF.

SPF is part of Roofing in ALL Major Building Codes and the NRCA has an entire book on it.

Tim, you don't seem to know much about Urethane Foam. A study was done on roofs 20 years old and older. 70% of them had gravel on them and no maintanance was done.>>>
