Metal Roof Condensation Control

The microsphere technology is a synthetic non woven fleece based on polyester fibers that is applied during the roll forming process saving labor costs.

Metal roof condensation control.

The final method of stoppoing a metal roof sweating is to bond an anti condensation layer on to the underside of the roof. This is often accomplished using vinyl backed fiberglass insulation to prevent humid air from coming into contact with the cooler metal roof which may be at or below the dew point. When then environment outside becomes cooler i e. The result is the roof sweating and dripping water all over your precious stuff.

Drip stop an internationally patented ccm condensation control membrane is pre applied to our pbr imperial rib and retro r metal panels. Traditionally condensation is managed by insulating the metal roof so that the panel temperature never reaches the dew point. Environmental building regulations have increased air tightness with a consequent increase in the risk of condensation. Click image to enlarge.

When condensation starts to form on the underside of the roof it is absorbed by the fleece material. Then as the temperature inside and outside equalise the moisture is released. When temperature and humidity conditions reach dew point moisture can condense on the underside of metal roofing and potentially cause water damage to the inside of your building. Check for short circuits that may be causing moisture such as ceiling fans unsealed light fixtures and vent.

How to stop condensation on a metal roof step 1. If you are heating or cooling a building adding insulation would certainly be a good idea. Moisture control materials such as roofaquaguard 3d offers an easy application that can quickly be applied directly to the roof deck prior to installation of the metal roof panels. Oftentimes people will insulate their metal roof with vinyl backed fiberglass insulation to prevent humid air from coming into contact with the cooler metal roof which may be at or below the dew point.

While it s not a good insulator condenstop is the hottest product in the market in recent years. No drips are formed. When the temperature of the roof is lower than the air inside the extra moisture in the air condenses on the underneath of the roof. Traditionally we ve insulated the roof panel to try and keep the temperature on the panel from reaching the dew point.

Condenstop is an effective affordable solution to prevent condensation on metal roofing panels. Line the attic. Add a preinstalled membrane to absorb and release the condensation as it forms with the natural weather cycle.
