Installing Attic Soffit Baffles

So why install a baffle.

Installing attic soffit baffles.

Staple each side to the roof deck spaced about every 4 inches. Install attic baffles if the attic doesn t have attic baffles let s install them. Attach this roof and attic insulation treatment using foam baffles to ventilate insulate and channel cold and hot air to roof vents before insulation is add. If your roof rafters have been covered over with drywall or plywood you will have to remove it in order to install the baffles.

The outside edge of the baffle should be parallel to the exterior wall sheathing. These come in handy particularly in the summer months as moisture can begin to build up in the attic and can then be pushed back out through the soffit vent. You ll need to crawl to the end of the eave and staple the baffle against the roof deck. If you are finishing the entire attic space place the baffle directly adjacent to the soffit vent so air vents directly into the tray of the baffle and is captured.

It is a simple yet functional design with the added bonus of keeping unwanted pests from entering your home. Pull any existing insulation away from the edges of the attic where you will be putting up the baffles. Step 2 in the bay.
