Use System Thinking On Your Next Roofing Project.

There is more to roofing than just nailing down shingles. A roofing system must also adequately ventilate the attic space. Proper roof ventilation prevents shingles from curling and reduces energy bills. Research shows that a simple balanced system of soffit vents and continuous ridge vents is the most efficient combination for maintaining adequate roof ventilation.

• Use ridge vents combined with external baffles
• Install ridge vents from end to end along the entire ridge
• Install soffit or eave vents so air flows between every rafter
• Install high-efficiency ridge vents with external baffles even when the entire roof doesn't need replacing
