Density and  R-Value of SPF foam

Density and R-Value of SPF foam

Density of SPF is important when it comes to strength and Thermal Resistance.

Obviously, higher density means increased strength and higher R-value. Most SPF roofs have densities ranging from about 2.5 pounds per cubic foot to 3 pounds per cubic foot.
Three pound density foam has a compressive strength of about 50 psi and an R-value of 7.14 installed and 6.86 aged (these numbers may vary slightly depending on the foam manufacturer).
