Installing Rafter Cavity
Insulation in Cathedral
Ceilings
1. Install raft-R-mate attic vent in
each rafter cavity beginning at
the sof t area, to assure the
vent remains open, continue
up the cavity to the ridge vent
or to a common air space.
2. Optional air stop/insulation
block–When installing, bend
down accordion hinge to meet
the top plate and staple to the
top plate exterior face or top
eave. Add additional staples every
10"-12" into edge  anges. Staples
must never penetrate completely
through roof sheathing.
3. raft-R-mate attic vent should be
installed with an approximate
2" gap between the ends to
allow moisture to escape more
readily into the air channel.
Reduce gap to ½ " when using
blown-in loose ll insulation.
4. Install cavity batt insulation so
that the ends of the insulation
do not occur in the location
of the raft-R-mate attic vent
gap. This precaution minimizes
the potential of the insulation
expanding into the air channel
and restricting air ow.
Note to Builders and Consumers:
Building location, climate, use
and other factors will impact
construction of the ceiling
insulation and ventilation systems.
Always check with your local
building department for required
ventilation area in attics and rafter
cavities, requirements for vapor
retarders, and the acceptability
of raft-R-mate attic vent for the
planned application.
