Roofing with a Battenless Metal Stone Coated Shake | Ask The Experts Forum

Mary O'Hagan 6/23/2008	We are roofing with a battenless metal stone coated shake installed direct to existing wood sheathing. Can a foil type radiant barrier be installed directly on top of the sheathing without the use of battens? Battens are not an option.

Guest User 6/23/2008	You can install a radiant barrier the same way you do felt. You nail it on with plastic cap nails. We use Polaralum and you install it with the foil side down.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/11621/find/
Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 6/24/2008	Thanks Wade. I have always been told that the shiny side of a radiant barrier needs to face an airspace to be effective. Is that not the case in your experience?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/11622/find/
