Poor Attic Ventilation Can Ruin Your Insulation, Destroy Your Shingles, And Raise Your Energy Bills!
Why Take Risks?
It is estimated that 9 out of 10 homes in North America do not have proper attic ventilation. Why? Because most people are unaware that attic ventilation can impact the longevity of their entire home! For example, in the summer, an improperly ventilated attic can cause heat to build in excess of 160°F. This superheated air eventually penetrates the ceiling insulation into the living area below.
Types of damage that can result include:
•
Premature aging of your roofing system (“fried” shingles)

Higher energy costs A properly ventilated attic can help reduce the load on your air conditioner by moving the superheated air out of your attic before it builds up and causes damage. In the winter, various household appliances, bathtubs, showers, and cooking vapors can contribute to excess moisture build-up. Improperly ventilated attics will allow this moisture to collect and cling to the underside of the roof. There, it will condense and fall, soaking the attic insulation and reducing its efficiency.
Additional structural damage can include:
•Roof deck warping and rotting of the wood frame

Proper attic ventilation systems allow a continuous flow of outside air through the attic, protecting the efficiency of the insulation and helping to lower temperatures in the living space. It consists of a balance between air intake (at your eaves or soffits) and air exhaust (at or near your roof ridge).
Your roofing experts at Weathershield Roofing understand the FHA (Federal Housing Administration) recommendations for proper attic ventilation and can recommend the best products for your specific roof type and size to prevent damage.
Leak Barriers "Protect Your Investment And Safeguard Vulnerable Areas”
Leak barriers protect your property by helping prevent wind-driven rain from leaking through the roof deck and into the property’s interior. They offer added protection in the valleys, at the eaves and the rake edges. These are the most leak-prone areas of the roof. Leak Barriers are strongly recommended for chronic problem areas like skylights, dormers, vent pipes, chimneys, and other flashing areas. The Leak Barriers helps ensure a 100% watertight seal and avoid costly repairs due to staining on interior walls and ceilings. They offer a better appearance by resisting wrinkling and buckling. The split-back release film peels off in sections causing the shingles to lay flatter and saves on labor costs.
Roof Deck Protection
Roof deck protection helps avoid a buckled, and bumpy- looking roof and reduce blow-off. Superior quality roof deck protection can protect and beautify at the same time!
Quality roof deck protection:
•Prevents wind-driven rain (or water from other sources) from infiltrating under your shingles and causing damage to your roof structure or the inside of your home.

Starter Strip Shingle
Starter strips help prevent shingle blow-off and eliminate waste with an eave/rake starter strip. Pre-cut eave/rake starter strips are one of the most overlooked parts of a roofing system. That’s because it’s easy for a contractor to use a cut-up shingle as the “starter” course on your roof. Unfortunately, cut-up shingles may not have properly positioned adhesive to ensure adequate wind resistance.
Using a pre-cut eave/rake starter strip will:
•Provide a cost-effective alternative to using cut-up shingles as your starter course
