How to build a vented vent insulation roof.

The 1 1 2 inch vent channel terminates in the vented attic of the building. Prior to installing the ridge vent a 1 inch wide strip of roof decking is cut out along both sides of the ridgeline to allow for air movement through the vent. It is important that air movement occurs and is not impeded by any framing members of the home. Spray foam is applied to the underside of the vent channel.

Hip roofs odd roof shapes hot roof designs aka dense packed insulated sloped roofs. Cathedral ceilings built using 2 x 12 roof rafters allow enough space for the fiberglass batt insulation and a 1 5 gap for ventilation. Cut and insert 1 or thicker high r foam insulation sheets r 8 per inch against the furring giving a 1 or greater air path between the insulation and the roof deck under the cathedral ceiling. Unvented roof assemblies should be insulated either with air impermeable insulation rigid foam or spray polyurethane foam or with a combination of foam and air permeable insulation.

Data design suggestions for hot roof designs or for providing roof and ceiling ventilation and we describe roof roof insulation or venting system inspection methods and clues to detect roof venting deficiencies insulation defects and attic. Https youtu be tp7d t5wfzc this video takes a look at the basics of roof ventilation a. This type of roof assembly is designed so the air can flow up the soffit vent through an insulation baffle pass through the 1 5 gap between the insulation and roof sheathing then exit through a ridge vent. A ridge vent is a ventilation strip that is placed along the ridgeline of the home.

A cold roof assembly can also be created using other types of insulation. If there are imperfections in the spray foam application the vent provides backup to clear any moisture.
