The ventilation in your roof may not look as striking as the asphalt shingles, but it remains an extremely important component of your roofing system just the same.

They are usually located at the lowest part of the roofing system, usually placed right under the eaves. The exhaust vents, on the other hand, are located along the peak of the roof. They allow hot air to escape from the attic to prevent excess heat buildup.
To ensure airflow is evenly distributed throughout the roofing system, the intake and exhaust vents are installed at several strategic locations.
