thanks for all the replies, my boss went ahead and did allow the "roofer" to do it which he also did it the morning after a hard hard rain which i high objected to him doing it and allowing at least 24 hrs to dry out. so hopefully nothing will really come of it and it'll work the why this guy says but i highly doubt it will. Thanks again for the posts.

It won't work. First good wind event and that bad boy is gone.

You should inform your boss when that system fails, that it would have been MUCH cheaper to do it the Right Way, the first time, instead of wasting all the money to do it SOooo Wrong in the first place.

And I understand that you guys awould all talk your garbage about foam only because you fear what you don't know.

It's ok... get some knowledge and your fears will subside.

Actually, I have tremendous knowledge about foam. Especially tearing it off.

It is very bad stuff. Especially in florida. I'll tell you that I like the fact I can create slope real cheap. i like the fact i can add r-value real cheap. I like the fact I can add reflectivity real cheap. I like a product I can get an unlimited wind speed warranty with the product.
My only problem is that is a garbage product for a roof system. Can't install it in 80 percent humidity. Punctures easy. Birds eat it. Guys installing it over old roof systems without even considering that the old system leaked and may hold moisture. It's garbage. Cheap to put down, expensive to maintain and expensive to tear off. Bad roofing product.

Dont feel bad foam guys. RWolfe bashes any roofing system hes not familiar with. Unfortunately for him if its not fibertite hes clueless.

rwolfe · 11-02-2009, 08:36 PM

Bornaroofer should be born in denial.
Somebody argue Fibertite is garbage. Go ahead.

Foam is the best. I love foam.

By the way, it's being torn off all over florida. and replaced with modified. People wont throw anything else on the roof after dealing with this stuff. Funny. I guess that's one good thing that has come from the spf movement. People spending a little more money for good system..
