Especially in areas of high humidity and heavy moisture, roofs will rot. While radiant barriers take much of the blame, rotting roofs are usually caused by poor ventilation, not radiant barriers. Ventilation allows fresh air to replace the existing air and circulate within an attic. This keeps the attic, and your roof, at a moderate temperature in summer and winter, and extends the life of your roofing materials. While improperly installed radiant barriers can cause moisture problems, it’s relatively rare. Usually poor attic ventilation is to blame for any moisture or rot problems you experience with your roofing.
