A roof vent is an essential component of any roofing system. Roof vents allow hot air and moisture to escape from your attic, keeping your home cooler in the summer and preventing mold and mildew from developing. Proper roof vent installation is crucial to ensuring that your roof ventilation system works properly. Check out our last blog to find out more on the importance of roof vents. But you might ask yourself..
“How many roof vents do I need?”
The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, including the size of your home, the type of roof you have, and the climate you live in. Typically, most homes will need between two and four roof vents. However, homes in hotter climates or with larger attics may need more vents.
If you’re not sure how many roof vents you need, the best way to find out is to contact a roofing professional like us! Generally, the rule of thumb is one vent for every 300 square feet if there is a vapor barrier in the attic. If there is not a vapor barrier, it is recommended to have one for every 150 square feet. No need to worry! We will be able to assess your home and roof and give you an accurate estimate of the number of vents you’ll need to ensure proper ventilation and even install them for you!
