Attic ventilation is one of the most important aspects of a functional roofing system. Its primary responsibility is to let air circulate properly and reduce moisture levels, keeping water-related damage at bay. In this post, V. Nanfito Roofing & Siding, your trusted local roofing contractor, explains what you need to know about roofs and attic ventilation.
Here are the main reasons it pays to invest in quality roof and attic ventilation:
Vents usually come in two major forms: those placed at the lower edge of the roof (intake vents) and those found at the peak (exhaust vents). Other types of roof vents include:
As a rule of thumb, there must be one vent for every 300 square feet of attic area if you have a vapor barrier in your attic. If you don’t have it, then one vent should be installed for every 150 square feet of attic area.
