Ventilation
The most common mistake homeowners make when installing insulation is to block the flow of air at the eaves. NEVER COVER ATTIC SOFFIT VENTS WITH INSULATION — use rafter vents and soffit vents to maintain airflow.
According to ENERGY STAR
We may recommend attic ventilation in conjunction with any insulation/air sealing upgrades to comply with local building codes.
Attic ventilation is important for removing moisture from the attic to help prevent damage to insulation and the roof structure. Building codes call for ventilation, this allows moisture that may enter your attic space to dry out and help prevent roof damage.
…as for the microwave vent – Amazing! No more steam build and the color match on the maple is excellent.

The ventilation should be balanced. With some vents placed high on the roof structure, with others placed low. Typical high vents are (1) “ridge vents: – a continuous opening at the peak of a roof, usually covered with shingles to match the roof; and (2) “roof vents” – covered openings in the roof. These come in various sizes. Typical low vents are “soffit bents” – small, screened holes or a continuous opening in the flat soffit area that connects the lower end of the roof to the wall. “Propavents” are rigid foam baffles installed on the inside surface of the roof deck to ensure that soffit vents are not blocked by attic insulation.
