Located at the top of a home's gable roof, gable vents passively ventilate the space beneath and around your eaves. These vents are like two windows open to the outside, which let in fresh and removes stale air.
There are several ways to add ventilation to your attic. A qualified roofing professional can evaluate your home's ventilation needs and help you choose the right solution.
Gable Vents on the Side of House
Gable vents, which are visible at the bottom of a sloping rooftop, are normally located on one side. They are usually painted to match the siding.
Do I need soffit vents that are paired with gable ventilats?
The exhaust vents located on your ridge or gable are much lower than the soffit vents. This allows for cooler air to enter the attic and warm moist air to escape to the exhaust vents.
The roofer will measure your attic floor, and then compare it to the area free of vents. The roofer will then be able to calculate how many vents are needed to meet the ventilation requirements of your attic.
Net free area is the area in which air can flow freely through an attic vent. This can help you figure out how much ventilation you need and ensure you don’t over-ventilate.
You can increase the airflow in your attic by removing any insulation or dirt. These items can be removed to increase airflow in your attic. This can reduce energy consumption and prevent mold growth.
You can vent your attic by installing a system that uses natural or supplementary ventilation. The fans are powered by either solar panels or an electrical connection and can extract hot air from your attic whenever it's too hot.
Whirlybirds or turbines also called gable vents work by using wind currents in the attic to draw air. They are a quick and cheap alternative to more expensive venting options. However these vents can be susceptible to the wind's power fluctuations and can prove to be less efficient.
Power venting systems use a fan to blow air out of your attic. They are more advanced than gable vents. They are more efficient than gable vents but can be costly and require frequent maintenance.
You can vent your attic with a combination ridge vents and soffit. To draw in cooler air, you'll want the soffit and ridge vents to be located as low as they can. This will allow them to draw in more air. It will also make your attic warmer by allowing the ridge vents to be higher. It's important to consider the size of your attic, the climate, and your style of house when choosing the type of vents you'll use.
