  1. Can different types of vents be used on a roof? This accounts for one of the most ignored and most discussed problems of roofing. Is mixing the vents a problem? Yes, it is Here is why different types of vents should not be used on a roof: 1)Insufficient Airflow Installing different types of the vent on a single roof obstructs the airflow. For fighting the environmental challenges like ice build-up, moisture build-up, there must be a balanced system of intake and exhaust vents. This prevents moisture from entering the attic and flushes out any heat build-up. Installing different types of vents can lead to a short circuit. For an improved air-vent, it is important to install the correct type of exhaust. The aim is to promote balanced ventilation and mixing is not an ideal solution. 2)Weather Installing a proper vent is important for avoiding fire and short-circuits. Exhaust vents don’t digest anything. The fact, installing different types of vents helps in pulling enough heat out is not practical. Weather infiltration can become a problem by mixing the exhaust vent types. The gable and louvers combined with one more component improve the airflow. It eliminates the probability of a short- circuiting. 3)Improper design and construction Having a correctly designed roof for a ventilation system is critical. The design of the roof should provide plenty of space air insulation space and airflow under the eaves. A perfectly designed roof helps in balancing the ventilation and prevents the air from sucking out quickly through the vents. 4)Insulation Properly installed ventilation prevents unnecessary venting of heat and helps in keeping your home air cool. The ventilation system will keep the conditioned air in your place and ensure its proper ventilation along with unwanted moisture that gets build up in summers. A few types of vents are used in residential and commercial space that includes ridge vents, static vents’ and gable vents. Having the same types of vents on the different types of roofs can lead to problems. And due to this ridge vents are not a good pick. Turbine or turtle vents are recommended for easy installation and soft ventilation. Insufficient air flow rotted decking and prematurely aging shingles do not need to be the final resultant. No, having different types of vents installed is not an answer to your ventilation needs. Opt for the best by consulting an expert Roofing Contractor Westchester Ny.
