Attic baffles might be one of many things that come to mind regarding home energy efficiency and ventilation. However, these unassuming components are critical in maintaining a healthy and energy-efficient home. At Zhe Industries, we’re committed to enhancing your home’s comfort and efficiency with our attic baffles, ventilation, and insulation expertise.

What Are Attic Baffles?

Attic baffles are chutes installed to ensure a steady airflow from your exterior soffit vents into the attic space. This airflow helps to churn stale air, remove moisture, and control the temperature in your attic. Available in various materials like foam, plastic, or cardboard, baffles help prevent insulation from blocking airflow and touching the roof deck, which is crucial during cold winters.

Why Are Baffles Important?

  1. Moisture Control: In winter, condensation can form where attic insulation contacts the roof. Baffles prevent this by ensuring proper airflow, reducing the risk of moisture-related issues.
  2. Temperature Regulation: Proper airflow helps to keep your attic at a consistent temperature, improving overall home energy efficiency.
  3. Code Compliance: Many local residential construction codes require attic baffles in every cavity.
