No. Spray foam insulation provides far less fire risk than the wooden elements in the roof. The system has been tested to British Standards and certified as a Class 1 fire rating, meaning that the foam is effective in resisting the spread of flames.

It saves you energy by keeping your home warmer and can reduce your energy bills by up to 25%, which is good for you, the environment and your budgeting. 

After the installation of spray foam, your roof is bonded together into a continuous structure. This greatly reduces the chance of tiles breaking from impact damage and so on. However, should a tile break, it can be removed and replaced in the future; it just takes a little more effort than normal. We recommend cutting out the foam from the area of the tile and removing the tile from the outside, after replacement, the tile can be sprayed back in place with foam.

Spray foam insulation can offer virtually any insulation value required. Simply by altering the depth of the foam you can achieve as little or as much insulation as you require. As a rough guide, foam insulation offers around twice the insulation values of mineral wool. A roof without felt can be insulated to current building regulations for loft conversions with around 100mm of foam insulation on the roof alone.

No. Sprayed foam insulation has the same ‘breathability’ as hard wood and so does not cause timbers to rot. In fact, as foam insulation reduces the chance of surface and interstitial condensation, your timber should have a prolonged life. If timbers are already damp, or have some form of rot or woodworm, they should be treated and allowed to dry before foam is applied. This allows the foam insulation to adhere to the surface correctly, thus ensuring a fully maintained layer of insulation.
