Key Benefits:

Noise Reduction: Cushions the polycarbonate against timber rafters, preventing the creaks and rattles caused by thermal movement.
Friction Reduction: Creates a smooth, flexible surface for the sheets to move freely, avoiding sticking or wear.
Improved Fit and Stability: Ensures a snug, secure fit for the sheets, maintaining overall stability.
Enhanced Durability: By accommodating natural expansion and contraction, it protects your roof and extends its lifespan.
Professional Finish: Provides a clean, tidy appearance when used with systems like Suntuf Beehive and Ez Glaze

Why the Foam Tape is White

Foam tape is supplied in white for a reason. Dark-colored rafters absorb more heat, which can cause plastic roofing to warp, melt, or become brittle over time. Light-colored or white rafters reflect sunlight, protecting your roof and ensuring a longer-lasting, durable installation.

Why Dark Colors Are Problematic:

Heat Absorption: Dark rafters absorb more solar radiation, increasing surface and material temperatures.
Material Degradation: PVC and Polycarbonate are thermoplastics and can warp, melt, or become brittle under excessive heat.
Reduced Lifespan: Prolonged exposure to heat can shorten the lifespan of your roof.

Recommended Solution:

Use Light-Colored Rafters: White is the best choice to minimise heat absorption and protect your roof.
Protect the Rafters: Painting the exposed top surface of rafters white can further enhance the durability and resilience of your roof system.
