Do you own a older home and need to figure out how to ventilate the roof? This is one of the biggest reasons your roof will not last as long as what it should. Proper airflow is critical for keeping your energy costs down, helping stop ice damning and protecting the life of your roof. This is a project we installed in Oakwood, Ohio 45419. We were able to take the roof off and install a whole new roof. When you have older houses it is very hard to create a energy efficient house with proper ventilation. On this house we installed a product called Deck Air. With no soffit overhang this product allowed us to create airflow from the bottom of the roof all the way up thru the ridge vent. The air in your attic should recycle every house with as much intake as outtake. This will enable the customer to save on energy cost since the attic space will not longer have as much heat just sitting there. Second in the winter months the airflow will work from top to bottom and help keep the roof the same temperature and help avoid ice damning. Understanding how your airflow works will increase your ability to make the right decision for your new roofing system. One of our professionals can help you with how to proceed with getting your home or business the right system at a affordable price.
