Thought Some would like to Know

I had closed cell foam sprayed on my attic floor 25 years ago, it was quite expensive at the time but made a huge difference in energy use.

Maybe I am hearing from old dinosaur type roofers, but the general consensus is that hot roof systems are best left to other than asphalt shingle.

I'm sure you've had offers like this before, but never before has someone audaciously bundled together all three at once, we will become the internet's one stop shop for the extremely greedy and gullible.

To add and on another note.

The more airtight you make your home.
the more important it is to have radon detectors.

Radon gas in older hoses didnt used to be as much a problem because the house breathed and more often then not the radon would escape harmlessly out of the house.
Now with all the newer type constructions houses have become more airtight then ever.
The upside as we all know is better efficiancy with heating and cooling.
The downside is Radon now has nowhere to go.

I know here in Jersey now all homes are required by law to have a radon detector.
I would assume this is the same in many other areas. or will be at some point in the near future.

this stuff is being used in england and has got very bad press.
If you have the old type  clay roof tiles  or similar  the foam expaneds and pushs the tiles out entualy breaking them,any damaged tiles then cannot be replaces wit out the foam being removed and some times meaning a whole new roof.
   The roofers hate it too
,even though it makes them work they have to work to hard  to replae things
