Where are soffit vents typically installed?

Soffit vents are typically installed in the soffit areas of the roof overhang because their primary purpose is to facilitate ventilation in the attic space. By being positioned in the soffits, these vents allow for cool air to enter the attic while warm air is expelled through the roof ridge vents or other high points in the attic. This flow of air helps to regulate temperatures, reduces moisture build-up, and prevents problems such as mold growth or roof deterioration. The strategic placement of soffit vents in the overhang maximizes their effectiveness in contributing to a balanced ventilation system for the structure.
