Wood Battens vs. Dimple Mat vs. 3D Mesh: Matt Risinger Comparison

Matt Risinger and Thad Barnette compare different assemblies used to create a radiant barrier air gap on Matt's new house in Austin, Texas.

**********************************

There are many options available when it comes to creating an air gap underneath your metal roof. Today on The Metal Roofing Channel, Matt Risinger of The Build Show joins Thad to discuss 3 different types of assemblies used on Matt's new house. They compare and contrast wooden furring strips (also known as battens), a 3D mesh product by Keen called Viper Vent CDR, and a ventilated dimple mat by Sharkskin. The air gap created under his 1.0 inch mechanical seam metal roof will help promote cool roofing properties and will ideally make the home more energy efficient over time.
