SIP Roofs
FROM: JACK pamunkey@mnsinc.com
DATE: 3/4/99 8:44:42 PM
I have a roof on a timber frame using 4" nominal panels
clad both sides with OSB. Inside is clad with drywall
or paneling. Architectural shingles are applied
directly to the OSB on a 12/12 pitch. This application
was recommended by panel supplier and shingle supplier
four years ago. Now I have moisture under the shingles
severe enough to ruin the OSB cladding. What is the
most likely cause? Will a vented roof modification
eliminate the problem? Is a 2x2 inch strapping
sufficient to permit venting? What is the best method
to repair the original OSB where it has gotten wet and
has to be removed? The north facing roof seems to have
a much more severe problem than the south facing roof.
The house is located in Central Virginia.
Thanks for anyone who might have answers/suggestions!
