Metal roofing condensation sounds like it would be self-explanatory, but there is more than meets the eye. When we discuss condensation on a metal roof—we are referencing the space between the roof decking and underneath the metal panels.

This occurs when warm air reaches a cool surface. Condensation outside the roof is normal and nothing to be concerned about. However, condensation building beneath the metal roof is a huge concern. The everyday morning dew will eventually evaporate as the sun’s rays hit the surface. What happens when the condensation is trapped beneath the surface with nowhere to go? It certainly is not good news. Continue reading to learn how we as homeowners can detect, fix, and prevent metal roofing condensation.
