Marin Heat Wave: Keep Your Eichler Home Cool with an Insulated Roof

Stay Cool in Your Marin Eichler Home with Wedge Roofing’s Insulating Foam Roofing Systems

Eichler insulated foam roof.

The Problem: Eichler Heat Factor 

Marin Eichler homes in Lucas Valley and San Rafael are celebrated for their mid-century modern design, seamless indoor/outdoor living, exposed beams, expansive floor-to-ceiling glass, and flat or low-slope roofs offering unobstructed views of the scenic Marin hills. However, the lack of insulation on these flat roofs poses significant challenges during the hot summers. The heat buildup makes indoor environments uncomfortably warm, leading to higher reliance on air conditioning, increased energy consumption, and elevated utility costs. Addressing these insulation issues can enhance these iconic homes’ comfort and energy efficiency while preserving their architectural charm.

The Solution:  Eichler Custom-Designed Insulating Spray Foam Roofs

Wedge Roofing has developed a specialized solution to combat the infamous Eichler heat factor: custom-designed insulated spray foam roofs. Our innovative roofing systems provide superior insulation and help regulate indoor temperatures more effectively, ensuring a comfortable living environment year-round.

“On hot summer days, our Eichler house used to be dangerous for us to be home, particularly for our young children. In the afternoon, the temperature inside the house exceeded 100 degrees. Now, after Wedge Roofing installed an insulating spray foam roof, the interior temperature is down to 81 degrees even when it is over 100 degrees outside. Thank you for making this a home again for us.” Erica H., Upper Lucas Valley
