Gable Vents Add a Finishing Touch
& Ventilation to Your Home
Gable Vents Add Ventilation to Your Roof & Attic
Home Design Extras has a wonderful selection of gable vents both functional and decorative for your home. Gable vents are a great way to lower your energy bill while giving air movement to your attic space and helping to cool your home. Gable vents are a good home addition since they move hot air out of your attic and reduce roof temperatures in the summer and help to keep cold air out in the winter to keep your home warmer.
Home Desin Extras has gable vents in many different sizes, shapes, and louver styles. We have square, round, rectangle, and oval gable vents with many different styles of louvers to choose from. Gable vents are placed at both ends of a gable roof on the sidewalls of the house just below the eaves. Gable vents are known as louvered vents, usually these are paired up, but depending on how many roof lines your house has you might be looking at adding more gable vents.
Gable Vents Can Lower Your Utility Bill & Add Design Interest
Gable vents offer passive ventilation of your attic space and roof. Air flows into one end of the gable vent and exits out the other end of your atic space via the other gable vent. Gable vents work like windows put on opposite sides of a room to help air flow while cooling the room, the concept is the same with gable vents. Airflow with the gable vents in your attic will push the heated air out of the attic as the hot air rises. The escaping warm air leaving your attic causes negative pressure, allowing for cool air to be drawn into your attic space to cool your attic space and roof.
The goal of a gable vent is to keep your attic space the same temperature as it is outdoors and hopefully remain that way year-round. Proper ventilation and insulation of your roof and attic saves you money in the longterm. Gable vents and insulation will lower your utility cost and keep roof in healthier shape for years to come.
We work with homeowners installing gable vents as a DIY project or help your contractor in ordering the best design of gable vents for your remodel or new home construction. Gable vents add functionality, beauty, and have a cost benefit over the years in lowering your utility costs.
