Weight of Foam Roofing
I am hoping someone would be kind enough to help me out. I am a Structural Engineer evaluating the roof framing of an existing cold storage building. There is 3" of spray applied foam on the roof, and I would like to know how much it weighs per square foot? Can anyone put me in the ballpark? Do weights differ dramatically from one supplier to another? Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

Larry, Typically roofing foam is 2.7 to 3 pound foam. This weight is measurement of 1 square cubic foot piece of the foam. So a 3 inch layer of foam 12 inches by 12 inches should be approximately 1 pound. |
