And i m worried about having animals insects and wind driven debris like acorns and leaves blowing up underneath that gap between the corrugated metal roof and the soffit.
Filling gaps in corrugated roof.
Gaps at eaves and ridge.
These closure strips fill the gap between the raised corrugations and the roof deck to keep out insects vermin and wind blown rain.
The uniform profile of corrugated panels means that the strip fits securely at both the eave and the ridge.
The existing house soffit.
Eaves fillers fitted underneath the sheets whilst ridge fillers are fitted on top of the sheets and underneath the flashing.
All foam filler strips should be bonded to the pans or valleys of the sheeting with a flexible waterproof silicone sealant and should be continuous over the entire width of the sheeting.
Roof closure strips are made to fill this gap and come in many different styles to fit the various kinds of metal roofing that are commonly available.
These strips seal out animals birds and insects.
The wood closure strips have a self adhesive backing for ease of installation.
Foam fillers should be used to fill the gaps at the ridge and eaves ends of sheets.
If roof closure strips are not used every place the metal is raised leaves a gap between the wood of the roof and the corrugated metal.
