Soffit Vents And Air flow
The flow of air is crucial for the robustness of the environment and Structure of the building. The slots or perforations in the reveals allow the air to move throughout the soffit spaces allowing for the hot are to be circulated in hot temperatures such as in summer. This helps for heat regulation and helps to protect the shingles from damages as well as keep down that electric bill and provide good energy efficiency. Temperatures in an attic space can reach up to 150 +. Having these soffit vent trims help to bring the temperature in the attic or soffit close to the outside temperature. In the winter months the vents help to allow air to dry moisture or condensation inside the attic of soffit space.
This helps prevent a process known as ice damming, mold, mildew and rot from forming in harsh winter weather. Ice damming happens when the ice melts and refreezes on the outer eaves of the attic/roofline, avoiding ice dams is crucial to energy efficiency of the dwelling. Also the use of small vents will not help with full ventilation due to their size and they have more hotspots which is why continuous soffit vents are a better functioning product with better results.
