Foam closure strips for metal roofing are specially formulated with unique wave designs for premium sealing of metal roofing panels. They can also be used as cushion seals for polycarbonate roofing panels.

Made of cushioning, durable and water resistant foam materials, metal roof foam closure strips can be easily fabricated to any custom wanted sizes. They are also easy to install to fit various metal roof configurations in any construction applications. The metal roof foam closure strips can seal the gaps of the roofing panels. Therefore they can effectively make your roofing system watertight, weather tight and noise reduction. Also the foam closure strips can prevent insects and other animals from getting inside or beneath the roofing panels.

We are flexible to produce foam closure strips at any sizes so they can easily fit to any profile. Besides, the flexibility of materials and sizes makes the roof panel closure strips ideal for use in the construction of factory workshops, warehouses, house roofs, and other types of corrugated roofing structures.

Production Materials

Based on our market experience, two kinds of foam materials are the regular choice for making metal roof foam closure strips. They are closed cell EVA foam and cross linked Polyethylene foam.

The two kinds of materials are both closed cell foam. They are both excellent at water and moisture resistance, also good cushioning and sealing performance. Comparison between two of the foam materials, Polyethylene foam has better flexibility and resistance. But the drawback for them to make roof closure strips is the original PE foam sheet thickness is 10 mm. But the foam closure strips is around 30 mm thick. In order to have a 30 mm thickness, the Polyethylene foam need to be laminated together with 3 layers. This takes more fabrication process also higher cost. On the other hand, EVA foam has workable cushioning ability also they are able to be fabricated in up to 100 mm thick, which is much enough for making metal roof foam closure strips.

Dimension Of Foam Closure Strips

The sizes of foam closure strips mostly depends on the size of roofing panels. The regular length is around 36 inches, width 1 to 2 inches, thickness around 1 inches. Also different country uses corrugated roofing panel in different sizes and shapes. So the foam closure strips for different counties can be different in shapes and sizes.

Features & Benefits

Foam closure strips for metal roofing are naturally good at insulation and noise reduction. If there is no metal roof foam closure strips when installing the corrugated metal roof panels. You house roof can make annoying sound and vibration when windy and rainy. With foam closures well installed, your roofing system will be stable and effective reduce noise and vibration.

* Lightweight and durable foam materials

In order to have a good cushioning and resilient sealing performance, metal roof foam closure strips are made from FOAMTECH closed cell EVA foam and cross linked Polyethylene foam. They are both lightweight foam materials and can withstand long term abrasion.

* Excellent Water and Moisture Resistance

Foam materials used for roofing panel closure are of closed cell structures. They are highly steady and strongly resistant to water, moisture and other fluid. This can effectively help the roofing system watertight and weather resistance.

* Acoustic Barrier for Sound Absorption

Foam closure strips are naturally good at insulation and noise reduction. If there is no metal roof foam closure strips when installing the corrugated metal roof panels. You house roof can make annoying sound and vibration when windy and rainy. With foam closures well installed, your roofing system will be stable and effective reduce noise and vibration.

* Easily Fabricated To Custom Sizes Fitting Assorted Roofing Panels

Our foam materials are quite flexibly manufactured to be any custom sizes and shapes. So they are easily fabricated to fit all sizes of roofing panels both metal and polycarbonate. In this way, our foam closure strips can offer tight sealing for roofing panels. Also as they are resilient cushioning materials, metal roof foam closure strips can provide precise sealing for roofing panel gaps.

* Flexibly Available in black, white and other custom colors

Our EVA foam and Polyethylene foam are offered in a variety of colors. The typical and usual color is black and white, also other colors are available to provide. If you want colorful metal roof foam closure strips, we can provide them easily and quickly.
