Outside and Inside closures | Ask The Experts Forum

james macneil 12/23/2017	I have a barn-style storage with a screw down rib metal roof. The panels are installed on furring strips. There is plywood decking with old shingles under the metal. There weren't any outside closures installed under the ridge cap. The ridge is closed. There also were no inside closures installed where the two slopes of the roof meet. I haven't noticed any water infiltration on the plywood decking under the metal. We've also had tropical storm winds and rain come through during hurricane Matthew. Should I have the closures put on the roof? Thanks, James	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22727/find/
Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 12/23/2017	I think you will be fine with the old roof still under there. The lack of closures should mean that the roof gets a bit more convective air movement in this case.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22728/find/
