What is the best way to ventilate a cathedral ceiling?
A. Cathedral ceilings should have continuous soffit vents and a ridge vent to allow air circulation between the insulation and the underside of the roof. Insulation should be installed with at least 1 inch of clearance from the underside of the roof. There are plastic baffles available that can be used to maintain this air space. A continuous vapor retarder is also recommended to minimize migration of water vapor into the insulation.
