What Is Roof Drying Potential?

Roof drying potential refers to a roof system’s ability to release accumulated moisture over time. Drying potential depends on ventilation, material permeability, temperature, and airflow.

RNKC Definition

RNKC defines roof drying potential as the capacity of a roof assembly to return to equilibrium moisture conditions after wetting events.

RNKC Perspective

RNKC emphasizes that moisture problems often occur when drying potential is restricted rather than when moisture enters the system.
