From lake-effect snow to summer heat waves, Niagara On The Lake roofs face unique challenges. Here's how we engineer protection.
Balanced attic ventilation prevents ice dams, extends roof life, and reduces energy costs
The Challenge:
Niagara On The Lake experiences significant snowfall and freeze-thaw cycles due to lake effect weather patterns. This creates perfect conditions for ice dam formation, particularly on historic homes with complex roof lines and poor insulation.
Our Solution:
We implement comprehensive ice dam prevention systems including enhanced attic insulation, proper ventilation, and premium ice and water shield membranes. Special attention is given to proper eave protection and sealed roof transitions.
The Challenge:
Located near Lake Ontario, Niagara On The Lake faces strong lakefront winds and occasional severe storms. Historic properties are particularly vulnerable to wind damage due to their age and architectural features.
Our Solution:
We utilize high-wind rated shingles with enhanced nailing patterns and starter strips. Additional securing methods are employed around edges and peaks, with special wind resistance features for heritage properties.
The Challenge:
The region experiences extreme temperature fluctuations between seasons, from humid 30°C summers to -20°C winters. These swings can cause significant stress on roofing materials and structural components.
Our Solution:
Our roofing systems incorporate expansion joints and temperature-resistant materials designed for extreme temperature variations. We use specialized underlayment and shingles rated for both high heat and severe cold.
The Challenge:
Proximity to Lake Ontario creates high humidity levels year-round, while spring and fall bring heavy rains. Historic buildings are especially susceptible to moisture-related issues and rot.
Our Solution:
We install advanced moisture barriers and proper ventilation systems designed for high-humidity environments. Our solutions include moisture-resistant underlayment and specialized flashing details for heritage structures.
