A roof top is not we think often of; even when a person is building a house bit it something we all have to know a little. Every type of vents has an important role in the functionality of the roof.

There are two main types: active and passive, the active one need fans which job is to push air through the attic, the most Ridge vents are made with plastic flaps in order to allow air pass trough. The other one, however, has no fans; it just let the airflow naturally.

It’s good to know which vent is best of your home but that climate should tell its word as it is a main characteristic for choosing a roof vent. When a person lives in a humid climate, the active option is best for the project.

One good choice is using roof Ridge vents with baffle they are connected to the roof and not that visible but in most cases it needs to install some mechanical fans in the attic.

As many people would like to have an eco-friendly home, the solar panel vents became more popular these days. As the name suggests these vents working on solar energy and they don't cost more for electricity. The bad thing is that they cannot vent while the battery is recharging and in cloudy days their efficiency is low.

Gabel end vents are traditional and if you buy a house you can inherit one with it, the vent is this case are in the side of the home not on the roof but near it.

When you have roof ventilation is a main thing for the lifespan of the roof and it adds comfort to your home so is a win-win situation. For better and more comfortable home you need not only strong foundation but a “healthy” roof as well.
