Apparently foil backed roofing blanket is better for condensation control in this case, rather than normal foil. Is this true? The short answer is Yes. The foil backed blanket is better than foil alone because the insulation part reduces the heat transfer upwards to the colder metal roof which reduces condensation. That may not be exactly how it should be explained but its my interpretation of dew point and heat transfer etc. To my understanding early saw cuts are to control shrinkage cracks, so doing them now would be pointless. Control joints may reduce ugly cracking during periods of soil… 3 9862 Hi group, have some damage to the door frame and skirting board. It's a side door to the laundry area. Only has a security door.
