Flat Roof Material: SPF

[Owen Densmore]

Well, this is definitely off-topic unless we consider Santa Fe issues  
on-topic!

We're putting on a new roof on our house and are considering  
"foam" (sprayed polyurethane foam or SPF) roofing.  Does anyone have  
a foam room or info on how well they work?

Thanks!

   Don't have one, but a friend does.  He had leak problems for a long
time and they seem to have stopped with a foam roof.  Personally, I
would never have a flat roof in our area.  Everyone I've known who had
one, including my friend until the latest re-roofing, has had leak
problems.  The oldest houses in Corrales, where I live, all have steeply
pitched tin roofs.  The flat roof craze started in the post-WWII boom
period.
