Strength Where It Matters Most: How Closed-Cell Spray Foam Reinforces Your Roof Against Hurricanes
In Southwest Florida, your roof is your home's frontline defense against hurricane-force winds. When storms hit, your roof takes the first—and hardest—blows. That’s why more and more homeowners in Collier County and Lee County are choosing closed-cell spray foam insulation as part of their storm-ready strategy.
It’s not just insulation—it’s reinforcement.
A Fortress Over Your Head
Closed-cell spray foam bonds directly to your roof deck and hardens into a rigid, durable layer. This doesn’t just seal out air and moisture—it ties your roof together, making it stronger and more resilient against lateral wind forces.
A study highlighted in Spray Foam Magazine shows that applying closed-cell spray foam beneath a roof can increase its racking strength by up to 300%. That means your roof is more likely to hold together when powerful winds try to tear it apart.
A Real-World Success Story
One Florida home featured in the Spray Foam Magazine article stood as living proof of what spray foam can do. Built with hurricanes in mind, the home was insulated with closed-cell spray foam across its entire roofing system. Thus completing a roofing system rated to withstand winds up to 250 mph.
When Hurricane Michael swept through Mexico Beach, Florida, destroying nearly everything in its path, this home was the only building still standing. The homeowner credited the spray foam installation for holding the roof together and keeping the home intact while others around it crumbled.
It wasn’t luck. It was a smart building, and spray foam made all the difference.
