Intake Vents
Usually located near the soffits or under the eaves of your roof, these allow fresh, cool air to enter your attic. They come in various styles, from simple screened vents to continuous soffit vents that promote maximum intake.
What Are Exhaust Vents
Installed near the peak of your roof (e.g., ridge vents or roof turbines), these allow hot, humid air and moisture to escape. Options differ in functionality – ridge vents utilize natural air currents, while turbines or power vents mechanically force exhaust. The strategic combination of intake and exhaust vents is key. As cooler air flows in, it pushes hot, moisture-laden air up and out of the attic. This constant circulation prevents problems caused by stagnant, overheated attic environments.
