Protect your home from high winds with InsulStar® Plus

InsulStar® Plus is a high performance foam spray adhesive sprayed directly to the underside of your house's roof structure. Designed to provide maximum wind uplift resistance, InsulStar® Plus adheres a home's roof to the trusses from the inside. InsulStar® Plus offers outstanding insulation performance (R-value) and can save as much as 60% on energy costs.

By applying InsulStar® Plus to the underside of the roof sheathing, attic temperature is dramatically lowered. Standard A/C vents can have up to a 10-15 degree difference in temperature from one vent to the next. After 1" of InsulStar® Plus is sprayed, a mere 1-2 degree variance in temperature may be realized.

InsulStar® Plus:

-

Contains renewable agricultural products made from sugar cane, sugar beets and corn. NCFI has formulated spray polyurethane foams since 1966.

- Provides a higher R-value than conventional insulation, lowering monthly energy bills by up to 60%.
- Reduces energy consumption, lessening your environmental impact and carbon footprint. InsulStar® Plus also contains no ozone-depleting chemicals. NCFI is the winner of an EPA Stratospheric Ozone & Climate Protection Award for extraordinary accomplishments and significant contributions to protect the environment.
- is odorless.
-

Helps improve indoor air quality (IAQ), keeping out pollutants, acts as a water barrier and is specially formulated to inhibit mold, mildew and bacterial growth.

What is S.W.R. (Secondary Water Resistance)?
It's an additional roof protection system if your roof fails.
What is Deck Reinforcement?
Most likely, your existing roof decking is only secured by nails. InsulStar® Plus adheres the plywood decking directly to the trusses, making it 3 times stronger than code requires.
Does InsulStar® Plus meet the requirements of local building codes?
Yes, (Florida Product Approval #9975).
Does InsulStar® Plus raise roof temperature?
Not significantly. Roof temperature is mostly affected by the color and the direction it is oriented.
If I have a roof leak, will it rot my roof decking?
No. InsulStar® Plus is a Secondary Water Barrier and should prevent roof leaks.
How will I know if I have a roof leak?
With most roof structures, leaks first show up as a staining in the soffit and fascia areas.
What is the difference between foam adhesive and foam insulation?
Foam adhesive attaches the roof to the trusses and keeps water out. InsulStar® Plus Foam Adhesive also provides insulation.
Why is one A/C vent cold and others are not?
A/C ducts run through the attic, which can be 145-160 degrees in the summer. InsulStar® Plus lowers your attic to only 10 degrees above outside air temperature, preventing the air in the ducts from gaining temperature from the attic.
Will InsulStar® Plus protect from tornadoes?
While wind and pressure patterns from tornadoes are different from hurricanes, 90% of all tornadoes are less than 150mph.
What about hail damage?
Because it provides Secondary Water Resistance, it can prevent water intrusion even if the roof covering is damaged.
