A poorly insulated roof can reduce heat by up to 35%. The cracks and gaps between tiles and roofing felt create hot air and heat.
Badly insulated roofs can also cause problems in the summer. They will allow your attic to heat up to very high temperatures. This prevents hot air from the lower rooms from escaping through the roof.
Attic insulation is spray on the roof’s underside. Roof insulation is then applied from the top. It’s also used in industrial buildings. Spray foam can deteriorate due to direct UV exposure. To reflect sunlight, a flexible membrane must be applied.
Lack of insulation on a roof can also lead to moisture buildup in the form condensation.
It can also drip into the attic, creating a moist environment that allows mold growth and can lead to the rotting of structural beams or joists.
Any items that are sensitive to this environment could be affected by the damp environment.
Spray foam insulation fixes all of these issues.
Because it is breathable, open cell spray foam insulation has been popular. This allows moisture to flow effortlessly through the roof and out of the attic space. This helps to combat the problem of condensation.
Spray foam insulation is far more effective than traditional insulating materials like rock wool, fiberglass and cellulose. Spray foam expands into every crevice, sealing out cold drafts, wind, and driving rain. Spray foam can also be used to reduce outside noises and act as a sound barrier.
