What Is Spray Polyurethane Foam
Spray polyurethane foam is an insulation material applied directly to the underside of roof coverings. It is commonly used to either improve thermal performance and energy efficiency or as a way of binding the roof together and prolonging the life span of the roof.
There are two types of spray foam insulation, Open Cell and Closed Cell, however, concerns can arise for both types regarding:
- Decay to roof timbers
- Moisture retention
- Visibility of roof timbers
- Roof ventilation
- Future roof maintenance
- Property sales and mortgage lending requirements
An independent survey helps identify the condition of the installation and any associated issues visible at the time of inspection and whether the insulation needs to be removed to save you from any unnecessary costs.
