Why install ridge vents?

A properly ventilated roof allows hot attic air to escape, which reduces the demand of your air conditioning system. In the winter, ventilation works with insulation to keep the roof surface cold - this ensures that snow won't melt on the roof, freeze, and form ice dams on along the eaves.

Ridge vents are usually covered by a layer of shingles when installed on an asphalt roof. Warm attic air naturally rises to the roof peak and escapes through the ridge vents.

Types of roof vents

There are different types of roof vents and strategies for achieving reliable roof ventilation, including:

    Ridge vents are commonly installed on the roof peak and are probably the most important vents in any "passive" or non-electric roof ventilation system.

    The vents allow hot attic air to rise and escape outside the home. In the photo, the ridge vent openings are the continuous space on each side of the ridge cap.
