The Attic Depot Blog features educational articles for contractors on solar attic fans, roof rejuvenation, attic ventilation, installation techniques, product knowledge, sales strategies, and industry best practices.
Attic ventilation is more than the number of vents installed on a roof. Contractors frequently encounter homes with adequate intake and exhaust ventilation on paper, yet poor airflow through the attic because air cannot travel freely. Evaluating airflow pathways during every attic inspection helps contractors identify hidden performance issues before recommending products.
Many homeowners assume all attic energy-efficiency products do the same thing. In reality, radiant barrier spray and traditional insulation address different types of heat transfer. Understanding the difference helps contractors recommend better solutions and helps homeowners make more informed decisions.
