  2. 0800 3689700 enquiries@ecotite.co.uk Metal roofs are notorious for “sweating”, which refers to the condensation forming underneath the roof, especially in houses in colder regions. Condensation appears when the moisture content of the air is more than it can hold. When left unchecked, metal roof condensation can lead to corrosion of metal components, mould and mildew growth, pest infestation, etc.

  3. 0800 3689700 enquiries@ecotite.co.uk If you notice condensation on your house’s metal roof, you need to get in touch with a professional spray foam insulation contractor like Ecotite at the earliest. As one of the most reliable spray foam contractors, our professionals thoroughly examine your house and suggest the best solutions per scenario. In the following post, we take a look at some of the most effective solutions against metal roof sweating.

  4. 0800 3689700 enquiries@ecotite.co.uk • Key solutions against metal roof sweating • Good roof ventilation • Appropriate attic ventilation allows the room to “breathe”, i.e., fresh air can come into the attic and the warm air can escape through the exhaust vent. As the air is continuously flowing, it gets less chance to condensate on the roof and cause damage. However, note that balancing the attic and roof ventilation is quite a tricky task and best left to the experts. You might also need to renovate some parts of the house depending on the scenario.

  5. 0800 3689700 enquiries@ecotite.co.uk • Ensure adequate insulation • The traditional method to combat metal roof insulation is installing insulation on the roof. Spray foam is one of the most effective insulators that substantially reduces metal roof condensation by preventing warm air from being trapped underneath the metal roofing system. It also helps in the thermal regulation of the house, which results in lower energy bills throughout the year. • Anti-condensation layer • An anti-condensation layer can be installed on the underside of the roof to prevent water vapours from coming directly in contact with the metal roof. It acts as a buffer, i.e., the fleece absorbs excess moisture from the air when condensation starts to form. Once the inside and outside temperatures approach a similar value, the moisture is released. Note that this method only stops water drips and does not actually eliminate condensation.
