I thought you guys make fun of US houses being made of wood. What’s this?

baby Dollz.........

If you did the right prep you wouldn’t have had the leak in the first place

Looks like it wasn't installed correctly

So now you have Cold and warm roof setup? Now what?

Nice video!! What size is that? 60x100 cms? Or 55x100?

That tiny hole is not in the roof as such - it's in the crap impermeable roof felt, which should never have been sprayed directly. Open cell foam on breathable membrane is acceptable.

I've got a loft conversion and I don't think the eves have been insulated and we always have a cold draft coming downstairs...am i right in thinking it's because of the insulation missing? boards have been put down but when i've had one up there is nothing down

looks to me like you should have done a little research before you insulated your house ,HOW IS THAT SPRAY FOAMS FAULT ?

Need to pull all that up and add more insulation

Maybe in Britain it'd just up the value of a home here in the US

The reason they don’t accept spray foam insulation is because they cannot see the damages to the roof’s structure so I wonder if they accept foam insulation between the roof sheeting and shingles. This is the new way of insulating roofs.

UK isn’t a smart country so it’s understandable

Air exchange is a must when you spray foam a home...the envelope is so tight and any moisture will need to be removed via venting. HVAC systems in the US are set up in this manner if spray foam is used. I have it in my own home and have never had an issue.

Were can I buy and get fix

You've put the flight in back to front!????

Never in a million years would I do this, I can’t understand anyone that would get this done, it’s just lazy!

Not a problem in the US, well not in the free states anyway could be problematic in the communist ones like California.

Homeowners down the road are going to find it was a huge mistake and grifters like RetroFoam will do nothing about it. Uninsurable homes, unsalable homes. Foam Jockeys make Tinmen look like angels.

Why remove?

People spray foam is toxic and highly flammable. No good stuff.

Spray foam is awesome im about to do my whole attic

Get a steel roof. Gravel coated if possible. Lasts 100 years

Only in the UK. You really should put that on there not lie to people

So it just needs to be installed properly to let the house breath.....

It also covers up termite damage and that is why insurance companies won't insure you.

Spray foam insulation has some down sides. It’s almost impossible to fix electrical wires, add wiring. It’s impossible to repair/fix water piper, sewer pipes, drain vent pipes. Shingles will breakdown every 30 years, when roof start leaking, it’s not possible to see it, can’t point to where the roof is leaking. Sometimes it is too late to see the leak and wood might already be damaged. Personally I don’t think it is worth the risk.

Simply bad application and building science. When the thermal envelope is moved from the ceiling to the roof, the attic is now within conditioned space and has to be treated as so to control dew point. Open cell foam works well in most applications but it can hold moisture if moisture levels are too high. Closed cell foam doesn’t absorb moisture so you wouldn’t have the same issues but it does have some other negative qualities in comparison. Both are good products when done right

Okay, well it's you're fault that you didn't specify that you wanted to have a weather barrier place between it, soooo....that's what you're gonna get.

Sounds like a case of tyranny! Spray foam is amazing

My dad had spray foam insulation. 22 years later it's costing me £26.000 for a new roof because it's completely destroyed because of spray foam. All the tiles are destroyed all the wood has rotted it's on the brink of collapse. And the surveyor has never seen a roof so bad in his career. It's the worst thing you can do to your house. But nobody tells you this

That wasn’t done right. 1) Add a barrier underneath the roof deck and spray foam that, leaving rafter bays open underneath the entire roof deck. You DONT spray the bottom of roof deck. 2) All rafter bays need to be able to ventilate from soffit to ridge vent on the roof.

That’s not how foam works, please research the product and it’s proper application.

spray foam has its uses however i would never want it in my home it's highly flammable and that is probably te reason

Hi yes it dose drop down in this video, we adjusted the spring tension after this video. However, it does hold up when you let go.

bunch of UK bullshit. open cell will transfer water with gravity in 24-48 hrs and you will see leak, so...yea. i call this one bullshit

Thats because you ripped it out

Whereabouts are you based. Would love to get this done

Here in alaska you can get a mortgage. Where do you live my guy.

You should just cover with plywood or plasterboard

He doesnt like cause its good stuff and cheap. All his complains cause of some random clerk and nothing about insulation, if you install anything qhy you should uninstal its stupid.

Im thinking pulling off a roof with stuff under it , must be a nightmare

First off they shouldn’t have used open cell on the roof deck anyways. Open cell for walls closed cell for roof deck. The close cell is hard (you’re not just peeling it off) and also water resistant. 2 1/2 inches of close cell adds structural stability as well as water proofing. When Sprayfoam is sprayed it expands into ever my gap and corner. Had it been close cell the hole would have been patched with the close cell

did it kill any that were deep inside the wood

Despite the millions of buildings that already contains spray foam.... Bad products use badly will end up poorly...

don’t buy a house if you can’t afford to sell it

What’s best skylight velux or fakro

Wholly shit which country or province??

Where is the link to order this?

They may have used open cell, where as in a roof attic you should use closed cell, and they used way too much.
