The Roofing Process
Your professional roofing contractor should be skilled and trained to provide proper installation. This is critical to long term performance. The contractor should be trained in installation techniques that cover the following areas:
Why Ventilation is Important:
From reducing energy bills to extending the life of a roof, attic ventilation is an extremely important component of keeping a house in good condition. With the potential energy loss in a home through the attic capable of reaching a ratio of greater than 40 percent, this statistic alone points to the fact that attic ventilation is very important. In addition to energy efficiency, ventilated attics help keep the home safe and free from structural damage. An inefficient attic is capable of costing the homeowner hundreds of dollars a year or more.
To counteract this inefficiency, proper attic ventilation, along with insulation, is often used to provide another barrier between the home and the outside elements. While the attic does this somewhat all by itself, the ventilation helps keep the air in the upper regions of the home from becoming too stagnant, and getting to be one temperature extreme or the other. In some cases, the air temperature of an attic that does not have proper ventilation can approach 160 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 71 degrees Celsius).
