This type of vent is extremely easy to install or add to an existing system.
Turtle vent roof.
If your roof s ventilation isn t up to par adding turtle vents could solve the problem.
Since the roof ridge is the highest point of your roof it allows for the optimal exhaust of air and moisture.
This is just pure physics.
Roofers will cut the underlayment and install the vents which act passively and cover small sections of a roof.
Turtle vents are relatively inexpensive and easy to install.
Turtle vents are also called box vents or louvers.
They are spaced evenly across your roof and installed close to the roof s ridges.
As air comes in through the eaves the warmest air will rise up to the ridge and out through the turtle vent.
As air comes in through the soffit vents the warmest air will rise up to the ridge.
The vents will take the air passing through soffit vents and allow it to escape at the highest point of the roof.
Their design includes a cap that gives them a turtle like appearance.
Turtle vents also known as louvers are installed as close to the ridge as possible.
