Condensation lingering on a roof can lead to problems, such as rusting fasteners, water damage to panel substrates and insulation and framing deterioration. Each of these issues can quickly become catastrophic to a roofing system, which is why, if left unchecked, condensation is a major problem. For this reason, McElroy Metal offers MoistureLok™ for their metal panel profiles, a simple solution designed to prevent condensation.
MoistureLok is a factory-applied condensation control membrane that is applied to the underside of select metal panel profiles, creating an absorption layer designed to give moisture a place to go, stopping the accumulation and drip into other more vulnerable parts of a roofing system. As temperatures change and humidity emerges, the condensation that has been gathered is then released back into the atmosphere.
While MositureLok plays a vital role in protecting the overall roofing system, it wasn’t designed to be a replaceement for proper ventilation or insulation systems. Rather, MositureLok works in tandem with these systems, providing an additional layer of protection. Especially in areas with major humidity and moist climates, it can be that perfect additional layer of system protection.
Designed to offer the best possible moisture control to structures like agricultural buildings, storage facilities, post-frame buildings, non-conditioned commercial buildings, Moisture Lok comes pre-applied so contractors only have to worry about getting the product secured and installed on the respective roof, making the usual process easier and less of a labor strain.
Maximize your ability to control condensation and protect systems from extra water exposure with these coated panels!
