Elyria Foundry – Spray Foam & Silicone Roof Restoration

Greg PalyaOther

Introduction

Elyria Foundry in Ohio required a resilient, high-performance roof system to rehabilitate its aging roof. West Roofing Systems applied a spray polyurethane foam (SPF) system combined with silicone coatings to deliver a seamless, long-lasting roof system that restores protection and extends the life of the structure.

Project Challenges

  • The existing roofing materials had deteriorated and allowed leaks
  • Surface irregularities, seams, and transitions needed smoothing and sealing
  • Maintaining minimal disruption to business operations during roof work
  • Ensuring the coating adhered properly to the substrate and remained durable
  • Too much water was building up in areas. A water re-route needs to happen.

Our Solution

  • Built new structures to re-route water 4 different ways
  • Applied spray polyurethane foam (SPF) to build up a consistent substrate
  • Installed high-performance silicone coating system over the foam (base + topcoat)
  • Embedded granules into the topcoat for UV protection and durability
  • Sealed all transitions, penetration areas, and roof edges to ensure continuity
