In this episode of The FORTIFIED Factor, the AI Experts (informed by Knockout Inspections) break down one of the most practical and often misunderstood upgrades in the FORTIFIED Roof™ standard: supplemental spray foam deck attachment.
Using guidance from the latest FORTIFIED Engineering Standard (FH 2015-04), we explore how two-part closed-cell spray polyurethane foam adhesive can strengthen your roof from the inside out—without needing a full roof replacement.
You’ll learn:
- How spray foam can simultaneously seal your roof deck AND improve uplift resistance
- When this method is appropriate (and when it’s not)
- The minimum uplift pressure requirements (110 psf and beyond) for compliance
- Why proper installation and documentation are critical for FORTIFIED certification
- Common attic access challenges that could impact eligibility
This episode is a must-listen for homeowners, inspectors, and contractors looking to enhance roof performance—especially in hurricane- and high-wind-prone areas—without tearing off existing roofing materials.
If you’ve ever wondered how to upgrade your home’s resilience from the attic, this episode gives you the clarity you need.
