Roof Insulation Foam

Nothing causes as many problems for your home as poor roof insulation. From leaks and freezing plumbing to high energy bills, poor roof insulation can end up costing you a lot of money. Foam roof insulation is the perfect solution to correcting this issue before it becomes a costly problem.

Roof insulation foam is a polyurethane foam which is applied as a liquid and left to dry, creating a single membrane which covers the whole roof. This type of roof insulation doesn’t have any seams, which is the reason for most roof problems in ordinary roofs. Polyurethane foam has a high R-Value which makes it a very effective insulator and as up to 25% of your home’s heat is lost through your roof, it pays to have effective insulation in place such as this.

One of the most important aspects of roof insulation foam is the fact that it produces a seamless blanket, giving rise to a product without joints. Any jointed system, including insulation boards, gives rise to a potentially weak point leading to a significant loss of insulation value. Roof insulation foam is particularly easy and cost-effective to apply to a wide variety of substrates and is fibre-free.

Because roof insulation foam produces a seamless blanket it is not only an effective type of roof insulation, but it also protects your roof from a wide range of roof problems. If your roof is suffering from slipping slates and tiles, nail fatigue and under pointing failure or wind, rain and snow ingress then roof insulation foam will help protect your roof and your home. Leaking roofs can lead to all sorts of other problems in your home such as freezing plumbing and burst pipes. By having roof insulation foam in place, you can rest assured that your home is protected.

One of the best factors about foam roof insulation is that it is basically maintenance free. Once the foam has been installed you will not be required to do anything. Foam roof insulation is incredibly durable and has been known to last longer than many other types of popular roof coverings.

Once the foam roof insulation has been applied your slates or tiles will be stabilised and able to withstand gale force storms meaning your roof will be efficiently insulated making that much needed re-roof a thing of the past.

If you’re looking to improve your roof, keep heating costs down or repair any roof problems, roof insulation foam is the solution you need.
