Maintain Insulation R-Value With AccuVent Baffles
Installed between the roof sheathing and insulation, these baffles help improve energy efficiency.
With so much attention being given to proper air-sealing and insulation for improved energy efficiency and moisture management, it’s crucial to get the details right. For attics, adding insulation is just one step in creating a tight thermal envelope. In a vented attic assembly, it’s critical to ensure airflow from the soffit up to the ridge.
AccuVent baffles can be installed easily under the roof deck to allow space for ventilation and then attached to the top plate of the wall below to mitigate windwashing or blown insulation making its way into the soffit.
An AccuVent baffle takes just six staples to install and works with glass, cellulose, and spray-foam insulation. It is made of 100% recycled PVC material and and is flame, mold, and mildew resistant.
