insulation: "I have a small cabin. It is used on week ..." - Guest User (12/22/2008) | Insulation Concerns | Archive

I have a small cabin. It is used on week ends, year round. It is only heated when we are there. It has an existing metal roof installed on 1x4's spaced 24" apart. I was looking at a closed cell spay foam insulation. Do I need to be concerned with the roof/soffet vents or can I spay it directly on the metal roof. I wanted to finish the ceiling after insulating it.	Guest User 12/22/2008	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12472/find/
Normally such insulation is used as part of a "hot roof theory" where ventilation is not used. It can be sprayed direct to the back of the panels. Does this answer your question at all?

I am not sure what a hot roof theory is??	Guest User 12/23/2008	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12474/find/
I did some reserch on the computer. I now understand the hot roof theory. I think I will be fine with spay insulation. Thankyou for the reply	Guest User 12/23/2008	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12475/find/
