3H Roofing installs soffit, box vents, ridge vents and other types for worry-free attic ventilation!
Roof ventilation is often overlooked, as people tend to be more concerned about their roof staying leak-free and keeping their home dry. But, did you know that a well-ventilated roof can help with many issues like a premature ware on your roof and keeping moisture out of your attic.
Why having a properly vented roof is important?
- Roof ventilation works to your advantage year-round.
- Air flow and ventilation are evenly distributed through the roof.
- Weather changes will not affect the vent and its effectiveness.
- A properly ventilated roof allows hot air in the attic to escape, reducing the demand on your air conditioning system during the summer months.
- In the winter, sufficient roof ventilation combined with good attic insulation will keep the roof surface cold, helping prevent snow melting and then freezing to form ice dams.
- Proper ventilation prevents mold, fungus, and mildew from developing in attic and crawlspace areas. The same conditions that contribute to mold also contributes to wood rot.


What kind of roof vents are available for my home?
Box Vents: Box vents are also called low profile vents, louvers, flat vents, turtle vents, or static vents. This means they have no moving parts. The vent is installed over a hole cut out of the roof. They create an opening for the rising hot air and moisture to escape through.
Ridge Vents: Ridge vents have no moving parts and as indicated by their name, are installed on the ridge of the roof. A ridge vent should run the entire length of the roof’s horizontal ridge, blending into the roofline for a more attractive home. Ridge vents combined with under eave venting (soffit) is the most efficient system you can install.
Soffit Vents: Soffit Vents provide a means of air intake into the roof’s ventilation system. They are installed in soffits and eaves and are most effective when used in conjunction with a continuous ridge vent.
Intake Shingle Vent: Intake shingles vents are a newer product out there at the market. Roof-top installation eliminates working overhead with soffits, under eaves. Passed 30-day ice dam test.
