What causes a metal roof to "Stripe" - (being able to see lathing) | Ask The Experts Forum

eric timms 10/12/2009	I have see some roofs that were wither lathed with 1x4's or some form of lathing and over time, you can see the lathing. I have even seen in the early morning how the condensation on theroof is different on the lathing. Do you think if the underlayment was applied on top of the lathing, it would still do this?
