Metal exterior wall/ ceiling panels?
Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2020 7:20 pm
I have owned this 1985 Redman Mobile home for 2.5 yrs. It's been a learning process but I have managed to repair everything that needed repaired, so far.
The trailer has 2 additions to it, the one in question seems to have metal panels as exterior walls and the ceiling. It's a textured metal and its put together with metal walls trips and screws. The panels themselves seem to be well insulated as they're warm to the touch. The metal strips/batons that cover the seams get extremely cold and cause condensation to build on them. I haven't torn into it yet because I have never encountered these panels yet and cant find anything about them online.
If anyone has experienced these and could tell me how to better insulate the seams I'd greatly appreciate it. The room loses heat very quickly.
I tried to include some pictures with the post but it repeatedly said "file to large" so I'll describe them :they're white with texture like a ceiling has. The sit in a channel on floor level and the ceiling. The seams are covered with aluminum or similar metal strips with screws
