My home is very hot. Can additional roof venting help?
A. Good ventilation creates a cooler attic in the summer An overheated attic, combined with moisture, can be damaging to roof decking and roofing shingles, causing them to distort and deteriorate prematurely. Good ventilation serves two main functions: moves hot air next to the roof deck out of the attic in the summer and dilutes and removes the moist air in the winter before it can cause damage. Note: There are also energy efficient roofing materials available.
