Eichler Foam Roofing
Dura-Foam is #1 in Green Roofing for Eichlers
Our Spray Polyurethane Foam roofing system continues to preserve Eichler's vision of the American Dream by protecting Eichler homes with a roof system that is affordable and reliable for the life of the home. Dura-Foam Roofing is the greenest and most effective solution for solving various roof related issues that have arisen due to the unique architectural style of Eichler homes. Dura-Foam Roof Systems help the environment and add value to Eichlers by diverting landfill waste, reducing energy consumption, improving interior comfort, and reducing long-term roof expense.
Dura-Foam has completed thousands of high quality Eichler roof systems at competitive prices.
1. Reduce Energy Consumption
The low profile roof assembly of an Eichler home doesn't leave room for thick batts of insulation like traditional roof structures. Eichler owners often feel like they are stepping home into an oven on hot summer days. In the winter, they are often shocked by high PG&E heating bills. After installing a Dura-Foam roof, Eichler home owners experience 10 to 20 degree cooler indoor temperatures in the summer and energy savings of 30% to 50% in the winter (see Testimonials). The Dura-Foam roofing system adds comfort because it includes the world's Best Insulator and Cool Roof coatings.
2. Enhanced Drainage & Roof Performance
Many Eichler Style homes include portions of roof that are flat with little or no slope. Poor drainage in these areas results in premature roof failure. The Dura-Foam System has resolved this issue because our roofs are contoured to customized thicknesses to build-up low areas and eliminate problematic ponding.
A Dura-Foam Roof is a thick seamless waterproofing barrier that exceeds residential standards for reliability and durability. It offers superior leak protection because it doesn't share the weaknesses of other roof systems such as seams and multiple material layers that hide problem areas.
3. Reduce Long-Term Roof Expense
Originally, Eichler homes were built with tar and gravel roofs. Unfortunately, tar and gravel roofs typically need replacement every 7 to 15 years. Once an Eichler receives the Dura-Foam System, re-roofing is totally eliminated. We offer a Long-Term Roof System that is renewable by periodically upgrading the surface with a protective coating layer. In the long term, we lower Eichler roofing expenses by over 75%.
Every Eichler style home that receives a Dura-Foam roof also deserves a copy of Eichler: Modernism Rebuilds the American Dream signed by the author and the director of the Eichler Network.
