Description

Gable vents are particularly useful during the summer months when hot air rises and is trapped in the attic, where it can transfer itself down through the ceiling and back into the level below, decreasing the effectiveness of air conditioning systems. A mesh screen placed behind the vent allows air to circulate while keeping insects out. The gable ventilator commonly requires no carpentry, as it is mounted on the interior of the wall behind the gable, however, electrical installation is required. A gable mounted ventilator helps to push air through the louvers. The ventilator removes air from the attic through the use of turbines or fans. Gable vents are particularly useful during the summer months when hot air rises and is trapped in the attic, where it can transfer itself down through the ceiling and back into the level below, decreasing the effectiveness of air. Gable vents work to provide ventilation, releasing stagnant air, preventing damage from humidity, and optimizing temperature control. A mesh screen placed behind the vent allows air to circulate while keeping insects out. A gable vent is located at the attic area, commonly on the exterior wall where the two planes of a sloping roof join, forming a triangle. Gable vents are fitted with horizontal ventilation slats called louvers. Other vent shapes include rectangles, steeples, circles, and octagons. The gable can be any symmetrical shape, but the triangle is among the most common.
