A Story of Three Vents
Once there were three attic vents; the gable vent, the ridge vent and the soffit vent. All three vents worked hard to move air through the attic. Each vent had its very specific place and job to perform.
Of the three vents Gable vent was probably the oldest and most experienced. Gable vents are found on many, many homes.
Soffit vent has been around a while as well, but did not work very well with Gable vent. Soffit vent found an ideal companion in ridge vent.
Ridge vent partner with soffit vent are a team that's hard to beat. They can vent an attic like no bodies business. They're a very efficient pair.
Ridge vent and soffit vent are an exclusive item. You might say they're married. They do not work well with any one else, especially gable vent.
Gable vent when put into an attic with soffit and ridge vent just mucks up the venting works. Air gets sucked in through gable vent choking off soffit vents air flow. Now soffit vent can hardly pull air into the attic. The marriage is stressed!
But you can't blame gable vent. A gable vents gonna do what a gable vents gonna do ... more
