Metal Carport Roof Condensation

That excess moisture ends up as drops of condensation on the roof.

Metal carport roof condensation.

The metal roof heats up quickly in the sun. It is quite annoying to have the condensation falling on you like rain. Why metal shed and garage roofs get condensation it took me a while to work this out but if you think of the way a solar still works that is what is happening to your shed roof. Picture a cloud of moisture floating overhead between the rafters.

Essentially condensation occurs at night when the temperature inside a building is warmer than outside. At carport central we provide our customers with a wide selection of pre engineered metal buildings. The condensation occurs most commonly on the roof as the warmest most moisture laden air rises to roof level. As it cools it can t hold as much moisture.

Could i use clear caulking on screws on roof top to seal. Have you ever been under a metal roof that had condensation on the bottom side of it. I have a 25 year old aluminum car port. Overnight when my car is parked water drips down wherever there is a screw connecting the top to the frame.

And with precise engineering and custom designs our pre engineered steel structures can fulfill any residential commercial or agricultural need. Only at night the dripping maybe condensation comes down the frame and falls on the car. It doesn t leak at all when it rains. Worse if the roof is over your shop carport barn or self storage unit you have to worry about what damage it is doing to the contents of these buildings.

From garages and carports to horse barns and clear span structures we have it all.
