How We Protect London Roofs from Ontario's Extreme Weather
From lake-effect snow to summer heat waves, London roofs face unique challenges. Here's how we engineer protection.
unoptimized=onError=Balanced attic ventilation prevents ice dams, extends roof life, and reduces energy costs
Ice Dam Prevention
The Challenge:
London experiences significant snowfall averaging 100cm annually, with freeze-thaw cycles creating perfect conditions for ice dam formation. These cycles are particularly challenging from December through March, when temperatures fluctuate around freezing.
Our Solution:
We implement a multi-layer defense system including enhanced insulation, proper attic ventilation, and premium ice-shield membranes extending 6 feet up from all eaves. Heat cable systems are installed where necessary for additional protection.
High Wind Protection
The Challenge:
London faces strong winds, particularly during spring and fall storms, with gusts occasionally exceeding 90 km/h. The city's location between Lake Erie and Huron creates unique wind patterns that can stress roofing systems.
Our Solution:
Installation of high-wind rated shingles with enhanced nailing patterns and starter strips. We use additional securing methods at edges and peaks, plus wind-resistant ridge vents designed specifically for Southern Ontario conditions.
Extreme Temperature Swings
The Challenge:
London experiences extreme temperature variations from -20°C in winter to +30°C in summer. These dramatic swings cause significant expansion and contraction of roofing materials, potentially compromising roof integrity.
Our Solution:
We utilize temperature-resistant materials designed for extreme Canadian weather. Special attention to expansion joints and flexible flashing materials allows the roof to naturally adapt to temperature changes without damage.
Moisture & Humidity
The Challenge:
London's proximity to the Great Lakes results in high humidity levels, particularly during summer months. Combined with spring rains and winter snow melt, moisture management is crucial for roof longevity.
Our Solution:
Implementation of advanced moisture barriers, proper attic ventilation systems, and strategic drainage solutions. We install specialized moisture-resistant underlayment and ensure optimal ventilation to prevent condensation buildup.
