SPF Tech
During the past year, the SPFA Roofing Committee has made significant changes to TechDoc SPFA-104 “Spray Polyurethane Foam Systems for New and Remedial Roofing”.  Included in this update are 25 color SPF roofing details, now available for download as individual AutoCAD .DXF files.   These files enable contractors and design professionals to easily integrate SPF roofing into their project drawings.   SPFA members can access this updated TechDoc for free on the member-only webpage.  Non-members can purchase and download it from the SPFA Online Store.

Some of you may receive unsolicited phone calls or emails from agencies or individuals offering discounted rooms for SprayFoam 2024. These services are not authorized by SPFA, as clearly indicated on SprayFoam 2024 homepage. We ask that you ignore all unauthorized solicitations you may receive and encourage you to book your rooms through our host hotel, the Las Vegas Westgate. Using SPFA’s block of rooms at the Westgate not only assures you a significantly discounted rate at the same venue as the show, it also helps us to defray other costs - maintaining low registration fees for all show attendees and establishing a hotel history that will help when booking future cities. Book your Las Vegas Westgate hotel reservations here.
See below for other Sprayfoam 2024 updates.
