What do drying
the attic and Insulation have to do with roofing?
|
In winter, normal household
activities like doing laundry, running dishwashers and taking showers
generate moisture that can damage insulation, rafters, wood roof deck,
underlayment and the shingles. In summer, heat build-up can cause
premature aging and cracking of plywood and roofing materials.
Ventilate,
then
Insulate! |
|
The only way to combat these problems is
with balanced ventilation.
Dry the attic by
installing exactly the same intake as the outflow. When a ventilation
system is balanced, wind blowing over the ridge creates a negative
pressure that draws the warmer air out of the attic. Replacement air
enters through the under eave vents, dries the underside of the roof,
and exits at the ridge cap or roof vents. Insulation (and
your all the wood in your attic) needs proper airflow to work properly.
