Zinc roof in Paris France | Ask The Experts Forum

Nick Marsh 2/13/2012	I have a zinc roof on top of a seventeenth-century house in Paris, France. There is no loft, only my apartment's ceiling. The apartment suffers from condensation. I have changed all windows to double-glazed units, and I use a dehumidifier. Two questions: (1) is there anything else I can do? (2) How can I put in effective insulation into the ceiling/roof space?

Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 2/13/2012	The keys are probably ventilation, insulation, and a vapor barrier. Where is the condensation occurring? If it is on the windows, another option would be run a fan providing better air circulation inside your living quarters. Condensation getting trapped against zinc roofing can be dangerous to the zinc.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/17097/find/
Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 2/13/2012	+1 Where is the condensation happening. Also, what is the roof structure like? Is it what we call a hot (i.e. insulated) roof design or is there an attic?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/17098/find/
