Foam Roofing as an Insulator

In the Southwest, where temperatures can soar above 110 degrees regularly during the summer months, insulating your home or business from the heat is critical. Your roof is often one of the least efficient heat-resistant areas of your structure.

Foam roofing is an excellent option for insulation of your home or business, particularly for flat or slightly sloped roofs. The closed cell structure gives foam roofing one of the highest R-Values (thermal resistance) of any roofing materials on the market. It is also highly water resistant thanks to the millions of tiny closed cells. The chemical makeup of the foam as well as the closed cells, makes foam a highly fire-resistant option. Finally, foam roofing is lightweight, so the underlying structure on your building isn’t required to carry heavy loads.

Choosing foam roofing can often pay for itself in energy cost savings over the years, particularly since it is durable and low-maintenance. However, foam roofing does require trained professionals to install.
