For improved air circulation in the attic, install the Durovent 22 in. x 48 in. Rafter Vent (10-Pack). It can be cut to fit most joist spaces and is an affordable way to meet energy-code requirements for air flow. Use it between rafters to create an air channel through insulation to help keep air flowing freely in your attic.
Improves insulation efficiencies, allows for cooler attics in the summer months, drier attics in the winter months and helps prevent ice-dam formation
Install between rafters to provide an unobstructed air channel through insulation to keep air flowing from soffits to ridge vents
For use in 24 in. or 16 in. rafter or truss applications
Excellent option for new construction
Can be cut to fit most joist spaces
Cathedral ceilings require a continuous run of vents from intake to exhaust with a 1 in. space between each vent
Perforated center line to fit most applications
Wide nailing flange and center strut allow for easy installation
Economical way to meet energy-code requirements for air flow
Toronto house. 10yrs old. This crap has melted, yes melted! Every baffle has melted closed at the soffit end. This stops all airflow. The attic becomes very hot. Need to replace every one. Don't know why they melt at the soffit end? A product designed to create airflow actually does the opposite!

Easy to instal if you know the tricks
People say it's to fragile and hard to work with. But that's just lack of understanding of how to install this stuff. A simple trick I use is to save old plastic milk jugs, cut them into 1 inch squares and staple through that into the durovent in the middle of the valley, and then staple a check at the top center of the valley. This holds it in place without tearing.
Add a second durovent below the first overlapping an inch, staple a check in the middle of that piece and then staple a check where the two overlap.
You don't need a hundred staples, you only need to add three staples max on each side. If you have a problem spot, staple a plastic check there.
Use a 4 foot metal ruler to cut the durovent sections with a box cutter long ways facing down on somthing like plywood. Make cross cuts with sharp large scissors.
When manuvering the panels into place grab the panels by the holes / divits, the holes are close enough together so that your hand can span two holes at once like a bolling ball, holding the panels this way prevents damage and makes it easier to position the panel.
3/8ths T50 staples are a good choice.

Great fit and easy to separate into halves for smaller rafters. The material is so light that the staples would sometimes go straight through.

These will fit against the roof deck between your rafters - you secure them to your roof deck. These are 22 inches wide or when split 11 inches wide. Please call 800-666-8191 with questions.

These are the most economical vent we sell; so you may like our proVent product. It is a more rigid plastic. A hammer tacker or a squeeze tacker applies the staples firmly into the roof decking; it should have no problem holding these vents in place - use staples with a 3/8" leg or 5/16" leg.
