Go Green with Foam Roofing

Foam roofing may sound like something from a futuristic science fiction novel but it's actually a realistic and cutting edge design that has evolved to help make the planet green and cut your energy bills down considerably. Studies have shown that this type of insulation can actually cut your energy bills by as much as thirty percent and over the course of five years the cost to apply the roofing insulation can actually be fully recouped.
Foam roofing has actually been around for forty five years but it has not really been fully utilized as a source of insulation and conservation until the recent eco-carbon footprint movement. Today, consumers in hotter climates are realizing the money saving cost to be found with this new-"old" discovery and it has taken on a second life as a source of effective and affordable insulation.
More ever because this type of roofing insulation material has been in place for so long it is evident that it is both effective and long lasting with many of these roofs still in strong shape even decades after being applied.
Another benefit is the ease to apply it. This type of "roofing" is actually sprayed on much like spray foam insulation and is a combination of two different chemicals that are combined as they are sprayed out of a spray gun onto your roof in liquid form. This application method allows the foam roofing to form a seamless one piece roofing material and it fills in every nook and cranny that traditional roofing materials can miss.
In fact the hardest aspect to a proper application is probably the prep work that is required. In order for foam roofing to be applied successfully your roofing contractor has to ensure the roof is completely clean and free of dirt, debris, oil and moisture.
To make the job complete and long lasting your contractor can apply with a paint roller or spray on the top coat and your roof is complete.
Clearly there are many advantages to using this insulation material for your roof if you are looking for a green roofing system that can save you money on your energy bills, as well as truly last a life time and not require any unforeseen maintenance to keep it going.
Foam roofing offers the advantage of being lightweight, highly thermal insulating, flexible enough to be applied anywhere, seamless and highly sustainable. Unlike other roof insulation types which require upkeep and maintenance at some point in their lifetime, this does not require any additional special attention and can increase the lifespan of your roof by providing your home with a protective coating from the elements.
If you're ready to save money and make your home more comfortable against the elements call around and find a roofing contractor that specializes in this type of insulation application and can get you a quote and a warranty on their workmanship and get started saving money on your energy bills.
