The Importance of Roof Ventilation
Your roof is so much more than just a covering for your home. It is an intricate system designed to protect your home and involves particular parts and designs to keep your home functioning properly.
One such system is roof ventilation.
Roof ventilation is a system of intake and exhaust vents that provide air circulation. This air circulates around the attic of the home.
Roof vents help extend the life of your roof, regulate the temperature indoors and reduce your home energy costs.
Without proper roof ventilation your roof can overheat and condensation can build up leading to mold or rot. This can pose a serious health risk as well as damage your home. Roof vents are necessary in all climates and seasons.
Types of Roof Vents:
Intake vents – Soffit vents or rooftop intake vents, typically located at the lowest point of the roof. Allows fresh air to enter the home.
Static exhaust vents – don’t require an electricity but make use of natural air flow
– Ridge vents – easy to install at the highest point of the roof, allows hot air to escape the attic, blend in easily with a low profile
– Hip vents – for homes with limited to no ridge areas, can also be combined with ridge vents
– Roof louvers – another option for smaller roof areas or roofs with no ridge line, require multiple vents
Powered exhaust vents – remove large amounts of air using the power of electric or solar energy. Typically include thermostat control
Every home is different and may require different types of ventilation depending on your roof style, home build and location. The experts at Phoenix Roofing can confidently assess and design a ventilation system for either a new or existing roof. Contact the team at Phoenix Roofing today!
