Attic Vent Channels

The fresh air flows up between rafters to the ridge where a ridge vent roof vents or gable vents allow the air to exit.

Attic vent channels.

Improper attic ventilation prevents the free flow of air from the soffit to the exhaust vents which reduces insulation efficiencies and accelerates moisture problems. Overview an attic with balanced ventilation has undereave or soffit vents which allow fresh air into the attic. Baffles are also called wind baffles venting chutes rafter vents or insulation baffles. 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. Provent may be installed prior to the soffit panel without fear of blow out. The integrated baffle means that no blocking material is needed between the vent and the top plate. Durovent with baffle attic vent channelthe durovent attic ventilation system with built in baffle helps keep attic air moving.

The space above the top plate of exterior walls at the bottom of each rafter bay is especially important. The provent rafter vent channel provides an unobstructed air channel through your insulation. Provent provent 14 in x 48 in rafter vents. Power roof mount fan.

Baffles provide a channel for air to flow through certain parts of the attic. Rafter vents come in 4 foot lengths and 14 1 2 and 22 1 2 inch widths for different rafter spacings. The 23 1 2 in x 46 in ventilation system features polystyrene construction which is lightweight and moisture resistant. Intake vents located at the lowest part of the roof under the eaves allow cool air to enter the attic.

Hot air exhaust vents located at the peak of the roof allow hot air to escape. Rafter vents ensure the soffit vents are clear and there is a channel for outside air to move into the attic at the soffits and out through the gable or ridge vent. Baffles placed in this area channel intake air into either the attic space or vent chutes and also prevent insulation from falling into the soffit and blocking airflow. To install the rafter vents staple them directly to the roof decking.

Typically made from polyvinyl. The provent attic ventilation channel provides an unobstructed air channel through your insulation.
