Roof Ventilation System
Accurate Roofing and Siding installs an integrated system of components and layers designed to withstand the forces of nature outside while controlling temperature and humidity inside. Your roof is a big investment. Help protect it right from the start against water damage in the attic, which can cause mold growth and rotting deck boards. Proper ventilation can help prevent damage and premature aging caused by moisture in the winter and excess heat in the summer. It will:
- Help allow outside air to flow naturally upward and out of attic
- Promote a cool, dry attic
- Help prevent moisture from becoming trapped in insulation, structural wood, shingles and roof deck
- Help prevent rotting, mildew, drywall damage, peeling paint and warped siding
- Provide year-round performance for consistent ventilation without energy consumption
When used with the proper exhaust ventilation, Owens Corning™ VentSure® intake ventilation products help replace the warm, humid air in your attic with cool, dry air to help protect the interior components of your roof system from heat and moisture damage.
Ice and water barrier products are designed to protect the roof where water has a tendency to collect or flow, including valleys, vents, chimneys and skylights.
Underlayment provides an additional layer of protection between your roof’s wood decking and the shingles, mainly to guard against wind-driven rain that can get beneath the shingles. Owens Corning™ roofing products include both Fiberglas™ Reinforced Felt Underlayment and durable synthetic DECK DEFENSE® High Performance Roofing Underlayment.
Owens Corning™ Starter Shingle are the first step in the proper installation of the shingles. They help prevent shingle blow-offs and water infiltration in a vulnerable area of the roof.
Owens Corning™ offers variety of shingle colors and design for every roof style. From traditional 3-tabbed shingles to brightly colored TruDefinition® Duration® Designer Colors Shingles with rich, dimensional look.
Owens Corning™ exhaust ventilation components such as VentSure® ridge or off-ridge vents help draw air out of the attic, protecting the roofing system from heat and moisture damage. Optimally designed to work together with our VentSure® intake ventilation products, they help create a balanced flow where warm, humid air is continuously replaced by cool, dry air.
Hip and Ridge shingles add an attractive, finished look to your roof's hips and ridges. They are specially designed, tested and warranted to protect roof peaks against the weather.
