Attic vents allow air circulation in the attic space to remove moisture and prevent premature roof deterioration. Proper ventilation is crucial for roof longevity. Attic vents with ember-resistant mesh screening are important for fire-hardening in high fire hazard severity zones. 2 of 7 Underlayment: A water-resistant or waterproof material installed beneath the roof covering to prevent leaks if the outer covering is damaged or deteriorates over time. Premium underlayments also provide additional energy efficiency. 3 of 7
