SPRAY FOAM ROOFING
HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPRAY FOAM INSULATION FOR STRONGER, SAFER, AND EASIER ROOFS
There are few more daunting home improvement projects than installing or repairing a roof; talk about something hanging over your head! For better or for worse, maintaining roofs is but one of the many burdens of being a homeowner, and most people are looking for the best balance between affordability, performance, and convenience. If you’re one of these people, do I have good news for you! Spray foam roofing, or roofing composed of robust spray foam materials like polyurethane, strikes the optimal balance between these three key considerations. They’re cost-effective, long-lasting, and easy to install, repair, and maintain, seeing them become one of the fastest growing categories of new roofing. Whether you’re stuck in the cycle of repairing leak after leak, or want something aesthetic but energy-efficient, spray foam roofing offers myriad benefits that just might make it the best choice for your home.
BETTER INSULATION
Spray foam roofing offers combined protection and insulation to keep your home safe and comfortable. In fact, spray foam is often used as a dedicated insulation material, thanks to its high spray foam R-value. The spray foam R-value, or simply, the R-value, is a simple standard measure of an insulation material’s resistance to thermal transport, or the conduction of heat through the material. The higher the R-value, the better the insulating properties of the material, and spray foam insulation is known to have the highest R-value per inch out of any common type of building insulation, with a R-value of 6.6 per inch. This is over 1.5 points higher than XPS insulation (5.0 per inch), and almost double that of EPS insulation (3.85 per inch), two leading alternatives praised for their high-performance as insulating materials. With better insulation, your home will be more comfortable for longer, while also saving money on heating and cooling costs.
