Why a Good Ventilation System is Essential for Your Roof's Longevity

By Quarrix. 

Keep your roof in top shape with proper ventilation from Quarrix 

A well-functioning ventilation system is crucial for maintaining the health and longevity of your roof, especially during the hot summer months. Without proper ventilation, excess heat and moisture can’t escape your attic, which can cause your roof and shingles to fail sooner than expected. That’s why a balanced ventilation system is crucial to allow hot air to escape and promote air flow. 

How you can prolong the life of your roof 

Creating a balanced system begins by installing 50% intake ventilation and 50% exhaust ventilation. This allows hot air to escape and your roof to breathe. Prolonging the life of your roof begins by properly installing Quarrix StormStop Ridge Vent on the ridge and hip of your roof. In addition to adding longevity, Quarrix Rigid Roll can also lower the cost of cooling your home and add overall curb appeal. With Quarrix roof ventilation, it’s what you don’t see that makes your roof look so good. You can install the low profile design beneath all types of roofing materials making it virtually invisible.
