There has been a lot of increasing buzz recently about foam roofing and it’s energy-saving benefits in the summer. What about during winter – are there any benefits? The answer is “YES” there are many benefits and not just limited to energy-savings.
The benefits of having a foam roofing system in the winter include:
Energy Savings in Winter
One of the great aspects of Armstrong’s Foam Roofing Systems is that is has the highest R-Value of any roofing material at 6.7 per inch at 75°F. The R-Value improves as the temperature outside decreases, whereas other roofing systems (tar & gravel, etc) either remain the same or actually decrease in R-Value. The R-Value of an Armstrong foam roof is up to 7.5 at temperatures up to 40F. So since heat rises, our foam roofing systems are very efficient at the prevention of heat loss through your roof, providing energy-savings on your home heating.
Waterproofing/Reparing Leaks
Since application of the roofing system is sprayed foam, the system is seamless which eliminates most of the seams or joints which are the major source of leaks in a typical roof. Your whole roof becomes a solid membrane that is sealed from water/moisture penetration.
Severe Weather Resistance
Armstrong’s foam roofing systems have a high wind-uplift resistance, preventing gusts of wind from compromising your roof. Hail isn’t typically a huge issue in the Bay Area, but it’s also worth mentioning that foam roofing is impact-resistant.
