Standing seam install to a cabin with 12 pitch roof. Insulation?? | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 3/9/2009	I'm stripping my roof and installing standing seam. I want to know the best direction to go in with the install and insulation. Right now the enter camp is gutted down to the studs. It's a 23 x 11 camp. Thanks!	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12893/find/
Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 3/10/2009	This is rather complicated and I need a lot more information. Feel free to call me at 1-800-543-8938 ext 201 In my opinion though, ideally you would have the following from the inside out on the home Paint, drywall, vapor barrier, insulation, vented airspace, solid decking, underlayment, metal roof.

Guest User 3/11/2009	Thanks Todd. I'm going to go without drywall so I think my layers will go like this from the inside out. Please correct me if this is off. Stain T&G Vapor barrier Spray foam between the rafters (what kind should I get?) Solid decking Tar paper underlayment Vented airspace Metal roof	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12895/find/
