This new approach is different, thanks to strategic tucks and darts in the fabric that allow the down to move in three dimensions, enabling each individual baffle to go with the flow, minimizing cold ...

Instead, use rafter vents (insulation baffles) to maintain a ventilation channel for airflow between the insulation and the roof sheathing. These air vents are easy to install and are placed under ...
