How do you stop condensation on a metal roof?

Traditionally, condensation is managed by insulating the metal roof so that the panel temperature never reaches the dew point. This is often accomplished using vinyl-backed fiberglass insulation to prevent humid air from coming into contact with the cooler metal roof (which may be at or below the dew point).

Will wet insulation cause mold?

Soaked cellulose insulation will retain absorbed water for an extended time and resists drying. During that time, it will also degrade wooden structure and trigger attic mold growth. Wet cellulose is generally not salvageable and needs to be removed, then new material blown-in to replace it.

Does insulation absorb water?

This material is made of tiny strands of glass, so it doesn’t absorb water. However, when moisture fills the air pockets between the fibers, the insulation loses its ability to slow the transfer of heat. Once dry, return the insulation to the wall or floor cavity where it came from.

Can I insulate between rafters?
