Ridge Vent vs Box Vents in Idaho

Ridge vents vs box vents for Idaho roofs: pros/cons, when each works, and what matters most for performance.

Both ridge vents and box vents can work — what matters is balanced intake and exhaust. A great exhaust vent with no intake still fails.

Ridge vents

  • Even exhaust across the peak.
  • Clean look.
  • Works best with good soffit intake.

Box vents

  • Useful when ridge vent isn’t possible.
  • Can be added in targeted areas.
  • More roof penetrations.
