About This Product
Owens Corning 's Raft-R-Mate attic vent is an extruded polystyrene foam vent designed to assure unrestricted airflow from the soffit to the ridge vent. Additionally, Raft-R-Mate attic vent has an optional bend down air stop or insulation block at the top plate of the wall in 1 easy-to-install product. The optional air stop or insulation block prevents loose fill insulation from filling the eave space during installation of cathedral ceiling or attic floors, by closing off the opening below the Raft-R-Mate attic vent to the soffit. The Raft-R-Mate attic vents install quick and easily and are sized to fit 24 in. 16 in. and 12 in. on center framing. Utilize in both new and retrofit construction.

Questions & Answers
What is the R-Value
Hello Greg, the Raft-R-Mate is not considered insulation and has not been tested for a R-value. Thank you for your inquiry!
why do you have to install your ceiling immediately after installing faced insulation under the rafter vent
Hello tomm, the Kraft facing on the insulation is flammable and cannot be left exposed. It needs to be in contact with a 15-minute thermal barrier such as 1/2" drywall. Thank you for your inquiry!
how tall is it
Hello tgue, The Raft-R-Mate Attic Rafter Vents measure 22.5" X 48". Thank you for your inquiry.
How many sq ft is in the box of 70?
Hello JGERDTS1, A box of 70 Raft-R-Mates will cover 525 sq. ft. of space. But because they are installed in rafter cavities, determine the number of cavities times the number of Raft-R-Mates per cavity to determine how many are needed. Most open attics use one per cavity, while cathedral ceilings will need enough to run from soffit to ridge. Thank you for your inquiry!
Are block wind
Hello Sebi, In order to answer your question we will need some additional information. Please contact an insulation agent at 1-800-GETPINK (438-7465) anytime Monday-Friday 8am-6pm EST. Thank you for your inquiry!
Can I spray foam over them
Hello Garage, We do not recommend using the Raft-R-Mate with spray foam. As the spray foam expands it can damage the Raft-R-Mate. Thank you for your inquiry!
Does this material paintable?
What is the R rating of this
Hello KenL74, Owens Corning does not have any suggestions or recommendations regarding the painting of Raft-R-Mate. If being used for their intended purpose of providing a ventilation space, painting could reduce the amount of water vapor transmitting into the ventilation space it creates. Thank you for your inquiry!
I'm turning my sunroom into a permanent room. I have Prodex foil insulation up in the ceiling. But am having an ice dam problem. Would putting rafter baffle vents underneath the Prodex prevent this?
Hello Suzzabella, to properly answer your question we will need additional information. Please contact Owens Corning at 1-800-Get-Pink (438-7465) M-F 8am-6pm EST. Thank you for your inquiry!
