Many homeowners often do not consider a foam roof for their house because it is traditionally used for commercial purposes. However, they can easily be installed and offer several benefits when installed on a residential home. When compared to other roofing materials, foam roofs are admirable and are the better option for flat roofs.
If you are preparing to install a new roof, educating yourself on every available option will help you make the best choice for you, your family, and home. Craven Construction brings over 20 years of experience with foam roofs to offer you these top reasons to install one on your house.
7 Reasons To Install A Foam Roof On Your House
- Cost: There are several factors that help determine the cost of a roof. Comparatively, a foam roof material cost is similar to other roofing systems. There are other factors that can make a new foam roof the more cost-effective option. A foam roof can be installed over an existing roofing system, reducing the cost by a tear-off. Foam roofing also can be installed in a quick, yet effective manner, meaning less labor costs to install when compared to other materials.
- Lightweight: Weighing in considerably less than most other roofing materials, foam roofs do not require additional structural support when installed. The lightweight factor also helps when the new foam is sprayed on top of an existing, built-up roof. Even though the material is lightweight, it is extremely effective and provides great protection from the elements.
- Easy Installation: Installation of a new foam roof is easy, which can save you on labor costs and time. Installed by spraying a liquid that then expands and conforms to all the nooks and crannies, a foam roof does not take a long time to complete. Your routine will also not be disrupted for a long time because it is a quick application.
- Easy Maintenance: A foam roof offers an incredibly durable option for any home. This means it will rarely need repairs and if it does, repairs and maintenance can easily be completed. A roofing company can simply spray new foam to fill in gaps and easily repair the roof. The additional layers will help boost the efficiency in the material.
- Energy Efficient: A spray foam roof offers the highest r-value than any other roofing material. This means the insulation it will provide can help lower your energy bills. The top coating of the roof will also help prevent UV absorption, to protect your house from elevated temperatures and make sure you stay comfortable inside your own home.
- Seamless: A roofing system is naturally susceptible to water and wind damage because of its location and exposure to the elements. Since a foam roof is applied as a liquid, it does not have seams like other roofing systems. Having no seams or joints eliminates the probability of damage from water or wind. Being seamless makes a spray foam roof an attractive roofing option.
- Offers Premium Waterproofing: A proper roofing system is essential to prevent moisture from finding its way into the home. Even the smallest amount of water can wreak havoc on a home and cause significant damage. A spray foam roof creates a natural seal against water intrusion. Premium waterproofing layers are added to resist penetration of water that can leak into your home through the roof.
