Nail fatigue and other deterioration of fixings is a common problem in many, particularly slate, roofs. Where the fixings, used to anchor the roof covering to the structure, have deteriorated or perished, the traditional remedy would be to completely strip and re-lay the roof covering. Although this method will solve the problem of perished fixings, it can also be extremely costly, disruptive and time consuming. Using EduFoam rigid foam insulation, spray applied to the underside of the roof covering, offers an alternative remedy which will completely solve the problem of nail fatigue, as well as offering further benefits, including:
- Excellent thermal insulation properties
- Reduced draughts through the roof and loft
- Increased air-tightness and reduction of unwanted air-leakage
- Minimum 25 Year guarantee on the roof covering, usually with a minimum 10 year insurance backed guarantee
- Sealing of the roof and preventing dust entering or falling into the loft
- Reduced noise from the exterior
