Gable vents are located on the roof of your home at the top. They passively vent the area beneath and around your gutters. They work in the same way as two open windows, allowing fresh air to enter and pushing out stale, keeping your attic cool and dry.
There are many options for adding ventilation to your attic. A qualified roofing professional is qualified to assess your attic's requirements and find the best solution.
Gable Vents, Side of House
The gable vents you see at the end of your sloping roof are typically located on either side, as close to the peak of the gable as possible. They are usually painted to match the siding.
Do I need soffit vents that are paired with gable ventilats?
The soffit vents are located under your roof overhang and are also known as the soffit. They are ideal for being lower than the exhaust vents on the ridge or gable. This allows the soffit and exhaust vents to draw in cooler air to the attic while also allowing for moist warm air to be expelled from the attic.
Your roofer will measure how much space your attic floor has and compare that to the area without vents. He will then calculate the number of vents needed to meet your attic ventilation needs.
Ratings of attic vents depend on the net free area. This refers to how much air is allowed to flow through them. This helps you determine how much ventilation you'll need and make sure you don't over-ventilate your attic.
You can improve ventilation by cleaning out dirt, insulation, or other debris from your attic. Eliminating these items will increase the airflow through your attic. This will reduce your energy costs, and help prevent mold and mildew growth.
The best way to vent your attic is to install a system that uses natural and supplementary ventilation, such as fans. When it gets too hot to allow natural ventilation, fans can remove the hot air from your attic.
Whirlybirds, or turbines, pull air from the attic via wind currents. 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 can be a more sophisticated way to ventilate your attic. This involves using a fan to blow out the air. While they are more effective than gable vents, they can be expensive and need frequent maintenance.
The best way for venting your attic is to use a combination or soffit and ridge vents. You want to position the soffit ventilations as low and as cool as possible so that cooler air is drawn in, and the ridge ventes as high and as dry as possible so that warm, moist air can be expelled from your attic. When choosing the vents for your house, you should consider the size of the attic, the climate and the style of the house.
