Building Homes or Extensions/Corrugated Tin Roof Edge Sealing

Expert: - 10/31/2008


Question
I need to know the best method of sealing the gaps left at the edge of a corrugated tin roof between the tin and the wood due to the shape of the corrugation.  I have thought about some type of foam, but is there a way to have a finished look when you're done?  I want to minimize the possibility for critters to enter the attic space.  Thanks.

Answer
Hi Stephen, they make a pre molded foam insert for this type of thing.  It is made to fit tightly on a corrugated roof.  I believe most home improvement stores have them back in the section where you can get the corrugated fiberglass panels.  I hope this information helps feel free to write again regarding this or other matters, sincerly bruce e johnson..bejohnsonconsulting.com
