Common Misconceptions about Attic Circulation Systems
As an Omaha homeowner, you want to feel that you have done all that you can to take care of your home, including the roofing system. In fact, the roof is among the most important components of your household, if not the single most critical feature.
Keep in mind, this is what acts as the first line of defense against the elements. Your roof cannot do its job and protect the entire rest of your home is it is in a compromised state.
There are a number of factors that continue to keep your roofing system in topnotch shape, including the attic circulation system. If you have not yet spoken to your roofing company about this type of ventilation, now is the time and we are here to give you some important information.
Don’t Believe These Attic Ventilation Myths
Attic circulation, or ventilation, is the amount of cycling air your attic gets. This helps prevent a number of common problems. However, there are some common misconceptions that you should know about, when it comes to this topic:
- The more ventilation you have, the better – This isn’t true because it is still about moderation and balance. What really is true is that ventilation is vital for the long-standing success of your rooftop and a quality circulation system beats out quantity, each and every time.
- Roof vents equal roof ventilation – You certainly cannot have a ventilation system without vents. However, just vents does not make a circulation system. It is about having the right vents and the right placement and a system in place to create the circulation of air.
- Roof vents are only for warm climates – What many people fail to see is that this type of system is in place to help prevent issues like stagnant air and moisture buildup or intrusion. This is all meant to also make your household more energy-efficient. For all of these reasons while it certainly is also vital to have ventilation in warm climates, climates that have seasonal weather and temps benefit as well.
