Condensation Concerns
The concern of condensation and its effects can be quit worrying for building owners and construction professionals. Water that forms in a system can cause damage such as:
- Corrosion of metal panels and components which can structural weaken the system
- Degraded and wet insulation reducing thermal performance
- Mold and/or mildew growth that can increase health risks
- Insect infestation which can contaminate systems
Wet Insulation Concerns From Condensation
Picking an insulation that is resistant to moisture is important but no insulation is 100% waterproof. When Polyisocyanurate (Polyiso/ISO) or Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) gets wet, they dramatically loss their thermal effectiveness. Engineered Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) has the ability to resist moisture but when it get wet has the ability to expel moisture. Learn More
This is why EPS is the BEST Insulation Solution for metal roofs.

Metal Roof - Insulation Products
products to help control condensation
Metal Roof Channel Insulation
Metal Roof Channel Insulation is designed to fit between hat channels or rafter channels to provide thermal resistance and lower energy bills. This cost effective rigid insulation can be provided in various widths and thickness to accommodate different metal roof systems.
Metal Roof Under Channel Insulation
Metal Roof Under Channel Insulation is designed to fit under a hat system over elevated metal roof system. This Insulation is manufactured using High Density 2 Engineered EPS Insulation which gives additional strength and R-value to the system.
Metal Roof Directly Under Insulation
Metal Roof Directly Under Insulation can be used with direct attachment metal systems or can be accommodated for hidden clip systems. Made from High Density Engineered EPS Insulation, this product gives stability to the system as well as great energy conservation.
Metal Roof Tapered Under Insulation
Metal Roof Tapered Under Insulation has the ability to increase pitch to a roof for additional drainage. Increase pitch from 1/8" slope to 1" or more. This product is manufactured using High Density Engineered EPS Rigid Insulation.
Metal Roof RetroDeck Insulation
Metal Roof RetroDeck can be made to contour any metal deck profile. This has the advantage of a tighter fit and more R-value than standard insulation fillers. Retro deck is manufactured using EPS rigid closed cell insulation, where the R-value stays consistent.
Graphite Polystyrene Option
This new innovative insulation product has infuses high-purity graphite particles into the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) cell structure which gives the insulation its distinctive dark grey color. The graphite particles reflect radiant heat and significantly improves insulation capacity by up to 30%. As radiant heat moves through the Graphite Polystyrene (GPS - Neopor) insulation, it reflects it hundred of times inside the cells wall, significantly slowing down the transfer of heat and making it more energy efficient.

(Recent Research)
Plymouth Foam manufactures roofing insulation for the United Sates including the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan and Ohio. Plymouth Foam provides roofing insulation using Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) in the form of flat insulation, tapered insulation, fan fold, laminated insulation, drain sump insulation, cants, tapered edge strips, green roof channel insulation, insulation saddles, crickets, roofing flute fillers, direct to deck, UL and FM rated systems. Plymouth Foam’s EPS, the safe insulation, is manufactured in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio. EPS roofing insulation has been known to work well with many the and styles of metal roofs. Metal roofs systems like Standing Seam Metal Roofs, Corrugated Metal Roofs, Metal Tile Roofs, Metal Shingle Roofs, Metal Vertical Roofs and R-Panel Roofs. EPS Insulation is known to work well with Cooper Roofs, Aluminum Roofs, Zinc Roofs, Steel Roofs, Galvanized Steel Roofs, Galvalume Steel Roofs as well as the old term "Tin Roofs."
