Installing Attic Soffit Baffles

Step 2 in the bay.

Installing attic soffit baffles.

So why install a baffle. You ll need to crawl to the end of the eave and staple the baffle against the roof deck. The outside edge of the baffle should be parallel to the exterior wall sheathing. Soffit vents and baffles work in tandem together and you will usually find attic baffles between the rafters or the roof sheathing in order to create protection for the soffit vents.

If your roof rafters have been covered over with drywall or plywood you will have to remove it in order to install the baffles. Position the first baffle. 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. You will need a baffle for each space between the rafters.

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. 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.
