Oil-canning: "I've been evaluating metal roof systems for a residence in ..." - Guest User (10/9/2004) | Maintenance | Archive

I've been evaluating metal roof systems for a residence in Washington state. In looking at many applications I am concerned about the oil-canning or buckling that seems common. I have been unable to get a clear answer about whether this is a function of incorrent installation or whether some roofing companies have a product that has less tendency to this flaw. If anyone can answer this question I would appreciate it! Elaine		Guest User 10/9/2004	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/4261/find/
Many things can contribute to this -- it is a pretty complex thing. If you go to this website http://www.metalconstruction.org/pubs/pdf/95-1060%20MCAoilcanning.pdf You can download the Metal Construction Association's Technical Bulletin on oilcanning which does a good job of explaining oilcanning.
