A ridge vent is a ventilation system installed along the peak of a roof to allow hot air to escape from the attic. It works with soffit vents at the eaves to create a natural airflow, preventing overheating and moisture buildup in the attic. Ridge vents are typically made from durable materials like metal or PVC and are designed to blend seamlessly with the roof. They improve energy efficiency by reducing the load on air conditioning and extending roof life by preventing mold and moisture damage. Ridge vents operate silently and are a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution for proper attic ventilation.
Turbine vents are a type of mechanical attic ventilation system that uses wind power to expel hot air and moisture from the attic. These vents consist of a rotating, cylindrical unit mounted on the roof. When the wind blows, it causes the turbine to spin, creating a vacuum effect that pulls air out of the attic. This promotes continuous airflow and helps prevent overheating and moisture buildup. They are durable, low-maintenance, and can significantly improve attic ventilation and energy efficiency.
