iFOAM of Tampa is only effective if it also has proper ventilation. Insulation and ventilation work hand in hand — insulation keeps the home warm or cool, while ventilation allows excess heat and moisture to escape. Without good airflow, trapped humidity can damage roofing materials and reduce insulation performance.

Balancing Airflow and Energy Efficiency

Attic ventilation involves both intake and exhaust vents. Soffit vents bring in cool air, while ridge or gable vents expel hot air. Together, they maintain balanced air circulation, preventing condensation and heat buildup. Insulation should never block airflow; instead, use baffles or rafter vents to keep pathways open.

Proper ventilation prevents mold growth, extends roof life, and keeps temperatures stable. Modern materials like spray foam and radiant barriers improve insulation while maintaining ventilation efficiency. Combining these techniques ensures your attic remains dry, energy-efficient, and structurally sound throughout all seasons.
