Importance Of Gable Vents: Enhanced Attic Ventilation And Roof Protection
Gable vents installed on both the front and back sides of a roof provide balanced ventilation, allowing warm, moist air to escape from the attic through the higher rear vents while cooler, fresh air enters through the lower front vents. This airflow helps maintain a consistent temperature in the attic, preventing condensation and moisture damage to the roof structure and insulation. Gable vents are typically placed in pairs to create cross-ventilation and enhance airflow efficiency.
