Ventilation for Roofs

Your roof does more than protect you from outside elements. It also helps ventilate your home. Home ventilation is important for both your health and the health of your home. And it is not just summer. During all seasons of the year, it is important that your roof is ventilated.

How should a roof be vented?

A roof should have ample air circulation under it. With a conditioned attic or vaulted ceiling, it is even more important. From the eave all the way to the ridge, there should be an inch of space between the top of the insulation and the back of the sheafing on the roof. That’s not all, you’ll need the vent chute to be at least two inches deep.

 There are also options to have a fan as well, which our experts can talk to you about.

In Virginia, we don’t have significant snowfall but it is still important that your roof is set up to protect from ice dams and the problems that they can cause.
