Condensation can occur in any roof including insulated roof. If there is a difference in temperature between the tin roof and surrounding air (relative humidity) then condensation can occur.

Relative humidity is the amount of moisture found in any measure relative to the temperature of the air. The warmer the air the more moisture it 'can' hold. With roofs if you have vented ridge or eaves it will allow air to escape and not form as condensation on the inside.

Externally, moisture can form on the outside when the air reaches its dew point i.e. the air gives up the moisture it is holding when it comes into contact with cool surface.

What is valley tin?

Valley Tin is used on roofs where two roofs section meet perpendicular forming a valley. This creates a transitional for water to drain from both sides of the valley roofs. Two types of Valley Tin can be used, smooth/rolled metal or metal with an inverted V in the center. The inverted V serves to check the water speed on steep roofs to prevent an overshot of water causing a leak in the adjoining roof. Three metals are common in fabricating valley tins. Aluminum, Galvanized Metal & Copper
