APPLICATION AND INSTALLATION
Control of
Condensation
In climatic regions where condensation risks are high, such as cold or high humidity areas, care
needs to be taken in specifying the correct design and installation to prevent moisture build-up in the
roof cavities. Factors which adversely affect the condensation risk in roofing systems include;
• Humid, and/or cold climatic regions
• Warm/Skillion roof construction
• Low roof cavity air volume and restricted air movement
• Omitting Vapour Control Layers
• Ceiling penetrations and entry of warm air into roof cavities
• Occupancy activities which have high moisture loading on conditioned spaces
• Low pitched roof
• Bulk insulation
• Building structures ability to naturally dry Construction Moisture
Skillion and Warm Roof Construction are particularly sensitive to moisture accumulation and the
design and installation of roof construction needs to take into account the higher condensation risks.
Refer MRM Code of Practice for details.
