GAF is very clear that ridge vent space should be less than or equal to that of soffit vents. On my home that means I need many more vents.
My trouble is that the current louvered soffit vents are installed every eight feet, in the center of soffit sections made from plywood siding. (Rough cut material that goes well with my unpainted cedar house) This means the best look would be achieved by placing the additional vents between the existing vents, where the soffit panels are butted together.
Would installing metal louvre vents straddling these joints be a problem? (Even with the space lost due to the rafter location in the middle of the vent I will still have enough ventilation... I was wondering if there were other issues)
