Roof venting with spray foam insulation.

General coatings is a proud member of the spray polyurethane foam alliance spfa. Attic ceiling to stop airborne moisture from reaching a cold surface and condensing inside the building envelope in this design insulation effectively separates the interior and exterior spaces while slowing down moisture flow so the dewpoint is not achieved within.

Unvented attic assemblies unvented attics rely on an air impermeable insulation installed to the roof deck s underside i e. Cathedral roofs especially need a lot more insulation between the ceiling and the rafters because there usually isn t any attic space.

A properly functioning un vented roof. In an un vented roof foam can serve as the air barrier and vapor retarder and prevent moisture from getting in to the roof cavities. Two component spray in place rigid monolithic polyurethane foam. Used in roofing as a superior thermal insulation and waterproofing product for new and remedial roofing.
