Foam Insulation Baffles Good Or Bad
Another place you can install insulation baffles is in your attic vents. These will help to keep your attic vents clean and free from debris which could lead to mold or mildew. Insulation baffles may be made from rigid waterproof foam or cardboard, PVC, plastic, or both. They can be placed between the rafters and on the attic floors.
A Soffit ventilation is an opening that allows air to flow from the bottom of a roof onto the exterior of a building. The soffit allows airflow to flow from the house to the outside. It can also direct airflow over ground or a barrier like turf or slab. Some soffits include insulation or screens to prevent wind-driven rainwater intrusion. Others are simply for convenience.
Do your heating or cooling bills seem too high? Your crawlspace or attic may not have enough insulation. This problem could allow the conditioned atmosphere to escape into your surrounding area. This will increase your energy consumption, and can result in an expensive and uncomfortable summer.
