Spray Foam Roof Insulation

Why use spray foam roof insulation?

In a roof space temperatures can often approach 60C or more during the day. Most of this heat enters the roof space through several processes. Roof InsulationFirst, solar energy warms the roof, which then transfers heat to the rest of the roof space through conduction, convection and radiant heat transfer. The 60C temperature of the underside roof surface then drives the heat transfer process

By applying spray foam roof insulation, the surface temperature exposed to the roof space (the temperature driving the heat transfer) is reduced by as much as 50%. Both conduction and convection heat transfer are proportional to a temperature difference, so that heat transfer will be reduced accordingly with a drop in surface temperature.

The benefits of using spray foam
roof insulation:

  • Duct leakage and heat loss or gain from ducts is much less of an issue.
  • Energy costs are lower when the attic is sealed.

In conclusion spray foam roof insulation: -

Reduces energy costs and loss in several ways. Energy loss from ducts located in the attic is essentially eliminated. The top of the building is much tighter resulting in less infiltration and exfiltration, so excess moisture isn’t pulled into the attic. Infiltration through the ceiling is also reduced. In addition the attic temperature is lower. Roof insulation also further reduces energy loads.


If intending to convert your roof space into another room this is an ideal time to apply spray foam roof insulation prior to doing this. With attic roof insulation you will reap the benefits in years to come.
