Roofing Ventilation

Underlayment is crucial in keeping moisture off your roof deck, but it is ventilation that keeps your attic air moisture free. In Hot'lanta everyone wants their attic ventilation to work properly. To achieve this we need to safely maximize your attics air flow.

This is done by identifying your attic's air intake and air exhaust systems. Just adding more exhaust vents will do little good if the intake vents are not performing. A balanced approach is necessary.

If you're existing attic does not have enough intake area, Soffit Vents or [in extreme situations] Under Shingle Smart Vent Products can be installed.

When most people talk roof ventilation they are thinking about Ridge Vents, Power Vents, Turbines or the cheap Box/Louver builder specials. These exhaust systems are vital to your new roofs life, but they can only work if the intake system can match it.

Clearly the Shingle-Over Ridge Vent with an external baffle is the best exhaust vent possible if you have enough high ridge area. However, your roof may present a challenge and Power or Turbine venting systems may be better alternatives. The Box/Louver vent can play a role for small separated attic areas.
