Finished hybrid (spray foam and coating) roof at Valtronics

Valtronics – Hybrid Spray Foam + Coating System over Mod-Bit Roof

Greg PalyaProject Profiles

Introduction

Valtronics Technology in Solon, Ohio was nearing roof failure. In 2023, West Roofing Systems implemented a hybrid roof restoration system, combining spray foam and high-performance silicone coatings over an existing smooth mod-bit membrane. The project covered 61,175 sq ft and was completed in just 11 days.

Project Challenges

  • The mod-bit roof was close to failure, with a weakened surface and an aging membrane
  • Deck repairs needed while avoiding dust intrusion into facility interiors
  • Numerous unused penetrations needed removal or sealing
  • The roof perimeter required new edge metal with a foam termination detail
  • HVAC ductwork needed encapsulation to maintain insulation and avoid air pathways

Our Solution

Foam & Coating System (Hybrid Approach)

  • Around the roof perimeter and all roof penetrations, spray foam was applied to reinforce transitions
  • HVAC ductwork was fully encapsulated in spray foam for seamless insulation
  • Removed ~20 unused penetrations, decked over, and sealed
  • Installed walkways for safe roof access (non-slip surfaces)
  • Edge detail: new 24-gauge Kynar-finished foam stop termination metal
  • All work done under strict dust control: interior plastic containment installed under the roof deck to protect sensitive equipment below

Warranty & Protection

  • Roof System: 15-Year Full System, renewable warranty was issued upon final walkthrough
