Roofs need turbins.
Using a roof turbine ventilator to increase the flow of air in your attic is a great idea.
Wind driven roof vents will pull more air from the attic but only when the wind is blowing.
As the wind passes through the turbine vent a series of vanes within the turbine spin cycling humid air out of the attic.

The turbines are adjustable so that the spinning part is level even though the roof is slanted.
A turbine has a series of vanes that spin as wind passes through them.

Unlike turbines this venting style does not have any moving parts.
All things being equal wind driven turbine vents also known as a whirlybird roof vent do move more air than flat vents but only when the wind blows.
In addition pay attention to the maximum roof pitch that will work with the turbines.
Flat roof vents have no moving parts to break or squeak but don t vent as much air as wind driven vents.
A ridge vent runs across the top of the roof s peak.
Roof turbines are typically 12 or 14 inches square so they take up minimal space on your roof.

Why do you need roof turbines.
Roof turbines are vents that remove humid air from your attic eliminating mold mildew and wood rot.
During winter months warm air rises into your attic.
These vents aren t one size fits all though.
Not all turbines will fit all roof pitches.
A roof turbine is a relatively small vent that utilizes the wind to remove humid air from an attic.
If you decide to add more turbine vents to your roof be sure to buy ones that are aluminum.
Typically a rooftop will use two or three of these turbines depending on the size of the roof.
These will not rust.
As the wind moves across your rooftop it turns these turbines and draws air up out of your attic area.
Without proper ventilation the extra moisture in the heated air will cause wood rot mildew mold and exterior problems like ice dams.
A roof turbine ventilator requires only the wind to work.
