The new standing seam metal roof is to be installed over the existing 1x4 skip sheathing so no solid roof deck.
Permeable seamless roof surface.
Delta trela is a vapor permeable underlayment with structured separation and drainage specifically designed for metal roofs and façades with metal cladding.
Many types of roofing including epdm and standing seam steel roofing are virtually impermeable to water vapor.
What sets our products at a level that others can only marvel at is our authentic double tile mat block paver system that is almost 100 larger in size then most other products on the market our flexible rubber paver system has a fake seam down the middle is designed to accommodate and adjust to minor low sloped variations in a roof membrane.
If you are set on using a permeable roofing.
When sun strikes the damp or wet roof surface and it continues to argue that moisture is driven through vapor permeable roofing paper felt and plywood or osb roof decking.
Above is a peel and stick mineral surfaced roofing underlayment shown during installation of a metal standing seam roof.
What is the difference between permeable and impermeable surfaces.
Asphalt shingles are a little bit permeable in windy conditions but not very.
But the attic floor air seal is terrible there s a huge attic stair that leaks like a sieve.
The underlayment prevents corrosion and moisture accumulation underneath panels ensuring the longevity of your metal roof.
While other non porous materials direct water to storm drains these surfaces help ground water recharge by allowing water to flow into open spaces between the materials.
Any moisture driven up from the attic will condense on the underlayment underside.
The standing seam metal roof does not sit tight on the purlin it is elevated with a steel clip which are spaced every 1 2 feet.
With the siga majcoat membrane it has a 34 0 us perm rating so it is definitely breathable.
Permeable paving is categorized using many different building materials.

However they are all sustainable and allow water to flow through their surface.

In this buildup the steel purlin uses steel clips to hold and elevate the standing seam metal roof with a high rib.
