Do You Need Vents In Soffits. No air vents in new soffits. While soffit comes in wood and aluminum they are most commonly made of vinyl for durability.
I recently purchased a house and had a question about the current attic ventilation situation so hopefully this is the correct sub-forum for this. If you are applying the new soffit panels without capping or concealing your fascia boards with aluminum you will need to apply the J-channel to the exterior edge of the soffit area as well. Step 2Drill for the Vents.
As the wind blows across the roof of your house it sort of swoops up at the ridge and the ridge depressurizes and the air thats in the attic sort of gets sucked out at the ridge.
For a typical gable style roof you can then divide that answer in two and you have the net free area of ventilation required per side. Where we inspect attics with spot vents in the soffits those little round louvered vents ranging from about 34 diameter photo. Step 1Mark the Soffit Vents. Soffit can be non-vented or vented to allow for maximum roof ventilation.
