Source control, ventilation, and filtration are the keys to healthy indoor air quality. Dehumidification is important too.

the brand i used had a drip rail,looks like a standard galv. but it's about 3" wide each way and colored to match the roof. this is the stuff that runs into money quick,all the trim.
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
DUCT TAPE.
Not sure what you mean by "classic" metal roofing.
Can you post a picture?
Many roof systems that are made today have drip edges designed for that system, appropriately painted, and priced.

Hey guy -
You worked on a couple of roofs in your past life. Any opinions here? (Oh, yeah. BTW - Happy New Year!)

I have never done a prefinished metal roof. I have done galv. 5V and copper, so I can't help with anything pertnent(SP?).

Since that product is a screw down roof , I think they provide a closure strip for the eaves. The panel overhangs by an inch or so and the foam rubber closure strip seals the end profile.
so your saying the closurestrip is the same profile as the tin and the drip edge goes between this and the facia......Thanks Chris.....

you're welcome.I was actually surprised I couldn't fins the same kind of info on your suppliers website. That is the first time I have found a supplier of this kind of product that did not display all the detailing options.

we dont use the foam rubber encloser so air can get uner the steel and any codesation can drain
I rarely use the foam strip myself.
