In a building such as a pole barn condensation can damage building materials.
Pole barn roof sweating.
Warm air has the ability to hold more moisture than cold air.
But a preinstalled membrane may be even more effective at removing condensation.
Sharing how to stop metal roof condensation and dripping that happens in storage sheds and workshops.
Condensation occurs when warm moist air contacts cold surfaces.
Traditionally we ve insulated the roof panel to try and keep the temperature on the panel from reaching the dew point.
This is an easy affordable diy solution that can be d.
Vapor barriers can help to keep condensation under control if installed in right places.
Ceiling level vapor barriers are a bad idea because they keep water vapor trapped inside the building rather than allowing it to exhaust through a continuous ridge vent.
The key to getting condensation to evaporate is air flow.
In order to control condensation in your pole barn you need insulation a vapor barrier and adequate ventilation.
Having vents in all elevations of the shed is an effective way of minimising metal roof sweating.
Having ventilation holes around the roof at eaves level and in the gable walls allows moisture rich air to escape.
We ll add a vapor barrier so the moist air does not flow up through the insulation and condense on the roof.
The five key points to stop your metal roof sweating are.
