Tip of the Week...
What are the consequences of mixing different types of exhaust vents on the same roof above a shared/common attic? Inefficient airflow, weather entry, mold, and more.
Jerry Becker, Roof Life of Oregon, Tigard, OR, was kind enough to film it. Thank you, Jerry!
Please do not mix exhaust (ridge vents, gable vents, wind turbines, box vents, off ridge vents, power fans).

Homeowner Hut...
If you're getting a new roof, please confirm that the attic ventilation is correct both in quantity (based on the attic's size) and distribution (50% intake 50% exhaust). Why? Most attics today are not vented correctly.

Of the 5 categories of attic exhaust vents, gable louvers offer the least amount of UNIFORM airflow. But sometimes there are no other options. That's this edition of "Homeowner Hut" -- content focused on helping homeowners (and roofing pros).
#homeownerhut #gablelouvers #atticventilation
Some roofs are suitable for using roof-mount or gable-mount power fans (solar or traditional electric) for attic exhaust ventilation. Be mindful of how they work and their limitations.
That's this edition of "Homeowner Hut" -- content focused on helping homeowners (and roofing pros).
#homeownerhut #powerfans #atticventilation
There are 5 categories/types of attic exhaust vents. Wind turbines are 1 of the 5. They are a good (not great) option depending on the roof shape and attic size. But they have limitations. That's this edition of Homeowner Hut -- content focused on helping homeowners (and roofing pros).
#homeownerhut #windturbines #atticventilation
There's a time to use individual box vents (also called roof louvers) for attic exhaust airflow. There are some key things about them to be mindful of, also. That's this edition of "Homeowner Hut" -- content focused on helping homeowners (and roofing pros).

A good way to help fight attic heat, attic moisture, as well as ice dams is a balanced flow of air in and out of the attic. That's this edition of "Homeowner Hut" -- content focused on helping homeowners (and roofing pros).

Many roofing contractors report that homeowners all but insist a 2nd type of attic exhaust be added to their roof. There's a reason the vent manufacturer, the shingle maker, and building code all say, "Please do not mix ANY 2 different types of attic exhaust vents on the same roof above a common/shared attic."
