Foam Roofing Materials Every Metal Roof Needs

Metal rooftops are brilliant. This roofing material is strong enough to withstand tough natural elements such as scorching UV rays, wind speeds of up to 250 km per hour, and the incredible impact of hail that might speed your way during a storm. Even though metal rooftops are great, they do have a few flaws. These roof materials tend to be noisy, they don’t insulate the property much, and most metal rooftops have plenty of openings and gaps where wind, rain, or pesky insects can get into. 

Fortunately, all of these issues can be overcome with the right foam roofing materials. Let’s take a look at some of the best materials to get if you want to enhance your metal rooftop. 

Noise Stop Foam Tape

The metal roof sheets can be very squeaky, especially when it is windy outside. These squeaks and squeals can sound quite terrifying during the late hours of night. Noise Stop foam tape is an excellent product to use if you want to eliminate these squeaky sounds. This tape adheres on both sides so you can secure two roof panels together. The foam padding will also create a protective barrier that keeps metal from squeaking against metal. 

Roof Infil Strips

The next product you need for your metal roof is infill strips. These rubber (suitable for fire rated areas) or PE foam infill strips, are designed to fit underneath the metal roof sheets to fill out the gaps created by their design. The infill strips are standardised but come in all metal sheet profile designs. The right profile will fit your roof perfectly and will instantly seal off all of the openings between the wall and the roof.

This is a huge help since it will keep wind and rain from entering the building during stormy weather. The strips will also keep pests from entering your building. 

Sponge Rubber or Foam Tape

Sponge rubber or foam tape is another must-have product for metal rooftops. This tape is designed to seal gaps and openings. You can use it to seal off openings around windows, roof accessories, or openings between different roof sections or structures. 

The rubber or foam tape is a great way to seal openings or gaps in your metal roof so it won’t leak.
