Cellulose Insulation with standing seam metal roof | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 1/11/2007	We are considering using standing seam metal roof with cellulose insulation. The insulation contractors reccomend filling the entire rafter space with cellulose and no air space, as part of the roof will be directly above living space. They say that no moisture will make it through to the roof decking. How do you think this will work with metal, and how would you install the metal. What you would recommend when using cellulose insulation with a standing seam metal roof?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/9084/find/

Otherwise, I would suggest a good vapor barrier behind the ceilings and then also a vented airspace.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/9085/find/
