Existing home has two shed type roofs, one pitch is steep the other is shallow (about 3 in 12. There is no attic or crawl space, just 8" of insulation between 2x10. I have been experiencing condensation leakage and possible ice daming on conventional shingle roof. Planning to reinsulate with foam in place and eliminate existing ridge and soffet vents when I go to a standing seam roof. A friend referred to this as a "hot roof system". Does this sound like the right thing to eliminate all the venting? What should I use between the decking and roof?

This can work successfully but the key is making sure that no moisture gets through or around the spray foam insulation.		Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 9/30/2006	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/8690/find/
