Eco-friendly foam is warm roof solution to condensation problems

Super-insulated vaulted spaces in new and existing structures

Homeowners with vaulted or cathedral ceilings sometimes see staining on interior walls and assume they have a leaky roof. Often, however, it is the result of condensation that occurs because vaulted ceilings lack traditional attic space. An attic isn’t just a place to stash your decorations till next Christmas. It provides valuable airspace that separates the warm inside from cold outside. Without this space, water vapor can condense. instead of dissipate.

A popular fix is to keep the underside of the roof cold by circulating cold outside air in through eave vents and out through a ridge vent. But Summit Roofing has found a more effective solution – the super- insulated warm roof.

Summit sprays in a five- to six-inch layer of eco-friendly polyurethane foam insulation to separate the cool roof underside from the warm, moist inside air. Summit’s super-insulation installation method brings the sprayed insulation layer all the way out the end of the eaves, preventing any snowmelt from refreezing and forming an ice dam. This thick foam layer creates an impressive insulated home, excellent vapor barrier, gives off no harmful fumes, and can usually be retrofitted in existing structures.
