You might find it odd, but heat is one of the biggest threats to your roof. We are not talking about the temperature outdoors. Instead, our focus is on the attic of your home. Even if you don’t have an attic, there is usually a space between the roof and ceiling. If this area heats up excessively compared to the outdoor temperature, the roofing can break down and mold can become a big problem.
A roofing system is designed with the focus on external threats such as rain, fog, wind, sun and so on. To protect the waterproofing adhesives, hard objects such as shingles are used. The underside of your roof has no such protection. If the temperature of the attic area heats up more than 15 degrees compared to the external temperature, adhesive and asphalt elements of the system will start to break down. To avoid this problem, make sure your attic area is ventilated properly. Remove boxes and such that block vents. A simple solar powered fan can make a world of difference. These small steps can mean the difference between a roof that lasts 15 years and 30.
