Exterior Ventilation

About Our Exterior Ventilation

While interior ventilation focuses on manipulating airflow within a building, exterior ventilation products deal with strategically introducing and exhausting air from the outdoors. These products primarily consist of:

• Louvers:These are angled slats installed in building exteriors that allow controlled airflow. They can be fixed or adjustable, allowing fresh air to enter while keeping out rain, insects, and debris.
• Soffit vents: These are vents located under the eaves of a roof, allowing hot and humid air trapped in the attic space to escape. This helps regulate attic temperature and prevents heat transfer into the living area.
• Roof vents: Installed directly on the roof itself, these vents allow for even more effective removal of hot air and moisture from the attic.
• Wall vents: Strategically placed in exterior walls, these vents can passively draw in fresh air or be used in conjunction with fans for controlled air exchange.

Exterior ventilation products offer a range of benefits:

• Improved indoor air quality: Fresh outdoor air is introduced, diluting and removing stale indoor air, pollutants, and odors.
• Enhanced thermal comfort:8 Proper ventilation helps regulate indoor temperature, especially in hot climates, by removing hot air buildup.
• Reduced moisture problems: Ventilation helps control moisture levels within the building envelope, preventing condensation, mold growth, and potential structural damage.
• Energy savings: Efficient ventilation can reduce reliance on air conditioning by promoting natural air circulation and cooling.

By strategically incorporating these exterior ventilation products, homeowners can create a healthier, more comfortable, and energy-efficient living environment.
