The trade association for the sprayed
and injected polyurethane foam
industry is the British Urethane Foam
Contractors Association. BUFCA is a
central resource for the application of
polyurethane foam systems.
The association consists of
polyurethane foam installers operating
to high standards, together with
material and equipment suppliers.
the reduced air leakage PU foam outperforms all other
forms of cavity fill.
It is a much less costly alternative to re-roofing and can be
applied to slates, tiles and other various roof coverings. It
permanently cures the problems of nail fatigue and makes
the roof much more resistant to storm or impact damage.
Because it is liquid when it is applied, it seeks and seals any
unwanted air leakage that may occur preventing the ingress
of wind-driven rain, snow and dust and dramatically reducing
heat loss.
The foam also slows the deterioration of tile/slates by frost.
On the underside of the covering frost damage is
eliminated.
On the weather side the frequency of the
freezing/thawing cycle is reduced. Slates
and tiles will be less prone to damage by
impact as the foam distributes the forces.
When choosing a BUFCA registered installer, customers
can be assured of the highest standards of quality and
service. www.bufca.co.uk.
