insulation | Ask The Experts Forum | Metal Roofing Alliance

Guest User 12/22/2008	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.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12472/find/
Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 12/23/2008	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?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12473/find/

Guest User 12/23/2008	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	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12475/find/
