Installing Attic Soffit Baffles

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.

Installing attic soffit baffles.

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. Position the first baffle. Staple each side to the roof deck spaced about every 4 inches. It is a simple yet functional design with the added bonus of keeping unwanted pests from entering your home.

So why install a baffle. If your roof rafters have been covered over with drywall or plywood you will have to remove it in order to install the baffles. Install attic baffles if the attic doesn t have attic baffles let s install them. You ll need to crawl to the end of the eave and staple the baffle against the roof deck.

Step 2 in the bay. 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. Pull any existing insulation away from the edges of the attic where you will be putting up the baffles.
