Why your roof may fail in hurricane strength winds?

	Wind produces inward pressure on walls facing the wind and outward pressure on the opposite walls. At the corners wind pressure can be twice as high!
Wind blowing perpendicular to the ridge of a roof can produce positive pressure on the windward side and negative pressure on the leeward side. Wind blowing around eaves, ridges, and overhangs produce high uplift forces in these areas. For example, the uplift forces on eaves can be twice as high as the pressure on the walls facing the wind.
	In extreme winds, roof failure can occur without a window or door failure. But, once a window or door fails, pressure inside the building can double, and the combination of external and internal pressures cause roof systems to fail and blow off in a hurricane or other high wind conditions.

Our homes and commercial buildings face the threat of destruction from hurricane and strong thunderstorm winds every year. The potential for severe structural damage increases due to aging with each passing year.

In the past, roofs put together with nails alone have failed to provide enough structural integrity to withstand the severe weather. Today, builders and home owners can turn to FoamSeal Hurricane Adhesive to strengthen roof structures and make them up to four times more resistant to wind damage.

FoamSeal Hurricane Adhesive can be applied to new and existing homes and commercial buildings, usually in a single day. Residents, employees and/or tenants need not be disturbed while Foamseal is being applied.

Sprayed as a liquid, FoamSeal Hurricane Adhesive quickly hardens into a water-tight seal that strengthens the structural integrity of your building. Where nails fail to keep roofs intact, FoamSeal Hurricane Adhesive helps your roof stay in place by increasing up-lift resistance up to four times.
