  • Insure multi-layer protection at the highest-stress areas of your roof (the hips and ridges)

  • Provide venting for your attic that will allow heat and moisture to escape

Balanced Ventilation Requirements

Balanced ventilation requires an equal amount of intake ventilation and exhaust ventilation. In no event should the amount of exhaust ventilation exceed intake ventilation. GAF recommends, at a minimum, providing 1 square foot of Net Free Ventilation for every 300 square feet of attic floor space. Consult local building codes for specific ventilation requirements in your area.
