Ventilation
The Importance Of Ventilation
- Good ventilation creates a cooler attic in the summer
- An overheated attic, combined with moisture, can be damaging to roof decking and roofing shingles, causing them to distort and deteriorate prematurely.
- Good ventilation creates a drier attic in the winter and helps prevent ice dams.
- Good ventilation serves two main functions:
- Moves hot air next to the roof deck out of the attic in the summer.
- Dilutes and removes the moist air in the winter before it can cause damage.
