ENSURING OPTIMAL VENTILATION FOR SLOPED ROOFS
Proper ventilation for sloped roofs is essential to maintain the integrity of the structure and improve the energy efficiency of your home, especially in Montreal’s varied climates. Proper ventilation helps regulate the temperature of the attic, reducing the risk of ice formation in the winter and overheating in the summer. To ensure optimal ventilation, it is important to install soffit and ridge vents that allow for continuous air circulation. Soffit vents located under the roof overhangs allow fresh air to enter, while ridge vents located at the top of the roof allow warm air to escape. This natural air circulation helps to evacuate moisture and prevent condensation issues, which can lead to mold and damage the roof structure. When installing or re-roofing, it is crucial to ensure that the vents are not blocked by insulation or debris. Hiring a professional to assess and improve your roof ventilation can ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your roof.
