Description:
Attic baffles, also known as rafter vents, are lightweight panels made of rigid foam, plastic or cardboard. They are installed between rafters to create a clear ventilation path from soffit vents to attic exhaust vents. By maintaining proper airflow, baffles help regulate attic temperature and moisture levels, ensuring insulation performs effectively.
Purpose:
Baffles are essential for maintaining a well-ventilated attic by preventing insulation from blocking airflow. Proper ventilation helps reduce heat buildup, prevent ice dams and minimize moisture accumulation, which can lead to mold and mildew growth.
Benefits:
✅ Prevents ice dams by promoting consistent attic ventilation
✅ Enhances insulation efficiency by preventing air blockage
✅ Reduces moisture buildup, lowering the risk of mold and mildew
✅ Extends the lifespan of roofing materials by minimizing trapped heat and humidity
✅ Helps regulate attic temperature for improved energy efficiency
