I have a 25 year old aluminum car port.
Metal carport roof condensation.
Ok now we understand a bit how the condensation in metal sheds happens.
Could i use clear caulking on screws on roof top to seal.
The condensation occurs most commonly on the roof as the warmest most moisture laden air rises to roof level.
Overnight when my car is parked water drips down wherever there is a screw connecting the top to the frame.
The metal roof heats up quickly in the sun.
And with precise engineering and custom designs our pre engineered steel structures can fulfill any residential commercial or agricultural need.
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.
At carport central we provide our customers with a wide selection of pre engineered metal buildings.
It doesn t leak at all when it rains.
Only at night the dripping maybe condensation comes down the frame and falls on the car.
Essentially condensation occurs at night when the temperature inside a building is warmer than outside.
Picture a cloud of moisture floating overhead between the rafters.
Have you ever been under a metal roof that had condensation on the bottom side of it.
It is quite annoying to have the condensation falling on you like rain.
As it cools it can t hold as much moisture.
The cold metal in contact with the warm air means that water droplets condensation forms on the inside surface of the shed roof.
From garages and carports to horse barns and clear span structures we have it all.
