Fire-Stopping Soffit Vents and Undereave Vents

Brandguard fire-resistant soffit and undereave vents help stop fires from spreading in your home. They make your home safer in a wildfire by protecting it from embers and radiant heat.

Understanding the differences between soffits and eaves is essential to ensuring your roofline’s look, function, and feel match your specific needs and preferences.

Eaves and soffits overlap, so many homeowners are unsure whether they need one or both types of vents. Despite their proximity to one another, they have quite different forms and functions.

• Soffits are long boards fixed to the underside of your home’s rafters, connecting the overhanging part of the roof to the side of the property.
• Eaves can be exposed, boxed-in, abbreviated, or soffited. Providing a decorative and practical function, they are the edges of the roof, which is why you sometimes hear them referred to as “roof eaves.”
