Roof ventilation is one of the most critical yet misunderstood parts of a roofing system. It works by allowing continuous airflow through the attic using intake and exhaust vents, preventing heat and moisture from becoming trapped. Without proper ventilation, that trapped heat can bake shingles from the inside while moisture leads to mold, rot, and structural damage over time. In Florida, this becomes even more important due to extreme heat and high humidity. Attic temperatures can exceed 150°F without proper airflow, accelerating shingle deterioration and increasing energy costs. Balanced ventilation helps regulate temperature, reduce moisture buildup, and significantly extend the life of the roofing system in these demanding conditions. On this 37-square project, ventilation was treated as a core system component, not an afterthought. With Owens Corning Duration shingles in Driftwood, paired with properly installed black vents and boots, the system is built to manage airflow, protect materials, and maintain long-term performance in Florida’s climate. https://maps.app.goo.gl/QHhf84HaJVJcpeiy7
