ABSTRACT:
A ventilation and insulation baffle is secured to the tops of the rafters in a building construction prior to placing the sheathing over the rafters to prevent insulation from blocking the soffit vents and to provide attic ventilation channels between the soffit vents and the attic. The baffle has a plurality of planar panels connected together by upstanding rectangular channels. The channels are spaced and sized to fit over the top of the rafters. The opposite free edges of each baffle have a half-formed rectangular channel to partially overlap the outer rafters and to support the panels therefrom. One edge of each of the panels includes an angularly disposed flap which is secured to the sill of the building to prevent insulation from entering the soffit from the interior of the building, but leaving an inner channel or passageway above each panel from the soffit into the interior of the structure.
