A member at the FFR Florida Council said, "I have been in the construction business for over 30 years and I have never used anything as good on a flat roof." All agreed in a room full of roofers that the Insulation Performance was so good that after an install at two Port Authorities of NY/NJ building the reported average "energy savings for July/Aug 2011 was 27-33% respectively." That's huge! Roof Surface temps went from 154F to 86F right after application; amazing by any standard. A member said, "I have witnessed a 30-45% reduction of surface temperatures on one of our recent installs." The manufacturer warrants that the roof temp will be within 10-15 degrees of the ambient temp. "From the sub-freezing climate of the arctic oil fields to the extreme desert conditions of Kuwait, FFR has performed to the highest standards.
