Customer Reviews for ADO Products ProVent 14 in. x 4 ft. Rafter Vent - 10 Per Carton

These are used to vent air between the soffits and attic space. I think these are a tad over priced for what they are but it seems like they work and they are easy to install. All you need to do is slide them into the rafter space down to the soffit opening, staple them in, then put in some kind of dam to prevent any insulation from falling into the soffiting. I used fiberglass rolls because it was quick and simple but you may want to use some thing that prevents air from passing through like foam blocking. You can install more than one vent to extend the height if needed. I installed two in each rafter.

DO NOT BUY THIS ONE. It is only 10 pack when I received. Just go in store and buy it only $2.x each. Quality is OK to provide ventilation for the attic.

Why are these prices in a 10 pack at $7 plus dollars each when you can buy them individually at $2.81 each?

I would have preferred hard foam, but these will work.

These went in with no issues. Not sure about cracking, breaking issues in other reviews. Installed in 30 to 45 degree temps. Used 5/16 staples to secure 6 per ( 2 ea upper, lower and middle ).

Worked very well. Fairly rigid. Enough to slide past some nails through my soffit vents and then move to attic for final stapling.

Great product, well made, and easy to install.

Used before and will use again, good product

Works much better than the styrofoam type available in the store. They are much tougher.

Just what I needed

The product worked well as intended however the cost was a bit much for what you get

They were installed easily despite the pitch of my roof. Used a staple gun and got them right up. Only time will tell how much they benefit the insulation of the space.

Very easy to install!

Stiffer than the competitions vents, not flimsy!!!

For application baffles were not sturdy enough.

The product was very satisfactory. It met my needs.

super easy to install , but doesnt block some insulation from going into the soffit. Also way too high for 5 cents worth of plastic

Do whatthey're supposed to. Easy to trim. Easy to put up. But $2 for a single length is WAY over-priced. 50 cents a length is what they should cost

The thickness of these channels should be doubled. You are trying to retroactively shove the channel between the fiberglass insulation and decking. Decking is not smooth and you are going to hit nails; thus a little more stiffness would be good. Otherwise it is a good product and reasonably priced.

the lightweight styrofoam equivalent of this tore very easily when I tried to use it to add fibreglass insulation above a sloped ceiling. I wonder why the Depot penalizes you for buying a carton of 10. $1.95 each piece vs $22 for the carton?

Since attic ventilation is a must, these items fill a need. They're thin & at first seem flimsy, but can take the bending & moving about to fill the rafter void, separating sheathing from insulation. They may be cut to length with handy knife.

I bought these and the 24" version for my remodel project. I used 70 or 80 pieces total on the sloped attic ceiling and gable sides. The vents are easy to cut and sturdy enough to maintain an air channel when using insulation of the appropriate thickness. They seem more sturdy than the polystyrene version. Installation was pretty easy.

I installed these some years ago. Recently did an inspection in my attic to discover these eave baffles disintergrating.

The fan appeared to be a good price; however, it is very loud and can be heard from any place in the yard and especially the bedroom over which it was installed. If it had been the bottom end of the line, one might have expected the noise issue; however, when you move next to the top of the line, you would assume that appropriate noise control techniques would have been included.

You'll need to frame out from your joists with 2x2's in order to accommodate the insulation. It is a good product.
