AccuVent 14.5" x 41" Cathedral Starter Strip – Fits 16" O.C.
Keep your home cool and your attic dry. The AccuVent Attic Ventilation Baffle is the professional’s choice for ensuring proper airflow from the soffit to the ridge vent. Designed specifically for 16-inch on-center (O.C.) joist spacing, this baffle prevents insulation from clogging your intake vents, protecting your roof from moisture buildup and ice dams.
Why Choose AccuVent?
Perfect Fit: Sized at 14.5" wide to fit snugly between rafters spaced 16" apart.
Prevents "Wind Wash": The unique design directs air upward and over the insulation, preventing cold drafts from penetrating your thermal barrier.
Sturdy & Sustainable: Made from 100% recycled, flame-retardant PVC. It won't rot, deteriorate, or succumb to moisture like cardboard alternatives.
Fast Installation: Features a "staple-up" design that allows for quick securing with a power stapler, saving you hours in cramped attic spaces.
Code Compliant: Meets all building codes for attic ventilation and moisture control.

Installation at a Glance
Slide the AccuVent baffle into the rafter bay against the top plate.
Ensure the bottom flange covers the top of the wall plate to block insulation from the soffit.
Secure the side flanges to the rafters using 1/2" staples.
Install your blown-in or batt insulation directly against the baffle.
Pro Tip: For cathedral ceilings, use the 41-inch length to create a continuous air channel from the eave all the way to the peak, ensuring your roof deck stays cool and extends the life of your shingles.
