Roof Ventilation Channels

All the ventilation openings need to be protected to prevent rain or snow infiltration.

Roof ventilation channels.

Since the roof is framed with trusjoist i joists the baffles are easy to fabricate and install. When the wind is blowing these ventilation channels allow air to move from the soffit vents to the ridge vents. The 23 1 2 in x 46 in ventilation system features polystyrene construction which is lightweight and moisture resistant. In a well ventilated attic cool air enters through the intake vents and carries warm moist air to the exhaust vents above.

Wide air channel for ventilation air. Provent may be installed prior to the soffit panel without fear of blow out. The provent attic ventilation channel provides an unobstructed air channel through your insulation. Deep so we just need panels that span between the webs.

The provent rafter vent channel provides an unobstructed air channel through your insulation. Provent may be installed prior to the soffit panel without fear of blow out. Improper attic ventilation prevents the free flow of air from the soffit to the exhaust vents which reduces insulation efficiencies and accelerates moisture problems.
