Roof Repair – Roofing Problems – Leaks

Winter is almost upon us and that means the temperature is going to drop, resulting in higher heating bills and with all the talk about Carbon Footprints, Energy Efficiency and the recession, it is important that your roof is properly insulated.

Roof insulation is an important part of an energy efficient home for the obvious reason that it helps retain heat in your home for longer so you don’t have to turn the heating up, if at all.

An independent review was carried out recently titled “Thermal Insulation and its Role in Carbon Dioxide Reduction”. The key findings were very interesting.

It was recognised that thermal insulation can play a key role in the cost effective reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in Europe and save up to 350million tonnes per annum by 2010.

Retrofitting of un-insulated or poorly-insulated properties provides by far the biggest contribution to carbon dioxide savings and suggests that the targeting of retrofit programmes to those member states with average carbon dioxide emission rates above 0.5kg/Wh for power generation should be prioritised.

Insulation materials that can be most easily and efficiently retrofitted need to prioritised.

The key requirements listed above describe the properties of polyurethane spray foam. RoofSURE Ltd have been applying polyurethane spray foam to roofs across the UK for over 20 years, nobody has a better track record.

Spray foam roof insulation is four times stronger than fibre glass and if you choose this way to fix up your roof, you will not be disappointed. The foam roof insulation cannot be seen as it is applied to the underside of the tile to make sure it stays in place, so you don’t have to worry about an unattractive roof. There really isn’t a more effective or convenient method of insulating your roof.

RoofSURE’s polyurethane spray foam treatment is not only ideal for insulating roofs, it also strengthens roof structures making them able to withstand gale force winds. Another benefit of RoofSURE’s polyurethane spray foam treatment is that it stops leaking roofs and so avoids unnecessary damage while allowing the timbers to breathe.

So, if you’re looking to save money on your heating bills and do your bit for the environment, give RoofSURE a call and speak to them about their polyurethane spray foam roof insulation.
