True or false: Rigid foam insulation under standing seam metal roofing, bad; but the same kind of foam under stone-coated steel, good? And why? Thanks, Elsa	Guest User 12/23/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/14225/find/
It would probably work better that way, yes. In some applications, it can work under standing seam as well.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 12/25/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/14226/find/
But why is rigid foam under standing seam metal roofing often a problem? I didn't catch the reason when someone told me this.	Guest User 12/26/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/14227/find/
The risk is that when the standing seam is walked on, it will not be rigid enough to "walk into" the forma a bit and perhaps cause permanent distortions.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 12/28/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/14228/find/
I think I understand what you're saying, but I might be missing part of it. Is "forma" a typo or a technical term?	Guest User 12/29/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/14229/find/
