There are many types of roofing insulation, each with its own unique set of features and benefits. One that you might not have thought of is spray foam roofing insulation. This type of insulation is composed of isocyanate and polyol resin and expands when it is sprayed. Here are some of the reasons that people frequently choose spray foam insulation. Extremely Versatile Because it is literally foam that hardens, spray foam insulation is viscous and becomes hard when it dries. This means that it can be applied to corners, nooks, and crannies that would otherwise go without insulation, because of the awkward or impossible fit. If your home has a difficult slope or the roof has a weird configuration, spray foam might be the ideal choice. Flexible and Impervious to Weather Unlike many other insulation products and materials, spray foam is flexible and weather resistant. While some products will mold if exposed to humidity or moisture, spray foam will not. It also will hold up to a home's natural tendency to expand and contract over the years. Lasting Product When properly coated by a qualified contractor, your spray foam should last a long time. In fact, it is difficult to pinpoint how long this kind of insulation lasts because roofs that have had it for over 30 years still show no signs of deterioration. The coating system that protects the polyurethane in the foam can be reapplied whenever needed. Easy to Maintain Spray foam roofing is easy to maintain. In fact, it actually requires little to no maintenance at all. If you have a hand caulking gun and a tube of caulking from your local home improvement store, you have all the tools you need to do most of the repairs to your roofing foam insulation. When looking for roofing insulation, take a good long look at spray foam roofing insulation. There are many benefits to this material that you might not have considered.
