Insulation Baffles Installation 8 Inch
One of the most important aspects associated with baffles is their ability to prevent insulation from entering areas where it doesn't belong, such as exterior walls or floors. Having insulation enter these areas can result in costly repairs so being able to keep insulation within its proper area will not only ensure quality insulation but can also help prevent unnecessary repairs from occurring.
Insulation baffles can also be installed attic vents. These baffles can keep your attic vents clear of debris that can lead to mold and mildew. Insulation baffles can be made of rigid waterproof foam, cardboard or PVC. They are available in many lengths and can either be installed between the rafters, or on the attic floor.
Experts recommend that you rafter vent with baffles if you use your attic as a living space or if other roof vents, such as open-walled vents and gable vents, are not performing their task of keeping the heat in the house. These baffles create narrow gaps to allow fresh air flow from the roof peaks to the soffit. This allows homeowners to be more consistent in their temperature and coolness without needing to perform more extensive roof renovations.
