Hi Ron;
Do not decide too quickly. The stuff costs
over twice as much as new rigid foam. Recycled
rigid foam costs a fraction as much as new. Also,
be sure to read the full specs and data sheets. All
the foam kits I have checked say that they should
not be used as an exterior roofing. Rigid foam is
what gets use on most commercial buildings that
have flat roofs. It is covered with white EPDM
roofing, to completely seal it, and reflect sunlight.
It can be bought wholesale, 2" or even thicker.
