DISPELLING METAL ROOF CONDENSATION MYTHS
Don't be fooled by claims that interlocking metal shingles installed directly on to a roofs sheathing deck will prevent condensation build up beneath metal shingles . Its impossible to prevent condensation from forming beneath metal roofing even if there is only a 1/8 inch airspace. This is the reason that all metal roofing requires a vapor barrier. Whenever temperatures drop, the temperature of metal roofing drops simultaneously . If warm, moist air contacts this cool metal roof surface, its “dewpoint” is reached and condensation develops. Metal shingles do no ventilate this condensation and moisture away from beneath the shingles because they are installed directly on the roof sheathing deck. Trapped moisture can potentially damage your roofs sheathing deck over an extended period of time because metal shingles use concealed fasteners that create hundreds of perforations in the vapor barrier as well as your roof deck. In Winter, this condensation freezes beneath metal shingles and remains there till Spring.... imagine 50 winters!
A KITCHEN COUNTER EXPERIMENT TO DEMONSTRATE HOW CONDENSATION FORMS BENEATH METAL SHINGLES
Fill a glass with water and ice cubes. Place the glass of water on your kitchen table. Position 3 coins in a triangular formation and use the coins to elevate your glass 1/16" off the table table. Within minutes you will notice condensation forming on the sides of the glass as well as under the glass. After 5 minutes this condensation will build up and precipitate on to your kitchen counter. What is happening on your kitchen counter is exactly what happens on a roof deck beneath metal shingles. The only difference is that a roof deck has a surface area of thousands of square feet while a glass has a circumference of only 3" inches
