Why ventilation matters

Heat trapped in your attic
destroys your roof.

✓Summer: 150°F+ attic temps bake shingles from below — halving their life
✓Winter: warm air hits cold deck and condenses — causing mold and rot
✓Ice dams form when heat escapes into snow layer — proper ventilation stops this
✓Every roof system requires balanced intake and exhaust — most NJ homes are under-ventilated
