RoofingVentilation4HighRoofer$ implied
Ineffective attic ventilation due to baffle obstruction at low-heel roof design, restricting airflow from soffit to attic.
Standard baffles do not fit low-heel roof designs, blocking air intake from soffit; no purpose-built product exists for this specific roof geometry.

Workarounds Described
- custom rigid foam chute/blocking system starting at end of top plate and bringing up to 2 inches below roof sheathing
- tying a proper baffle into that custom chute
- sealing seams with closed-cell spray foam
Implied Software Gaps
- Design tool to custom-fit baffle dimensions for unique roof geometries
- Mobile app with laser measurement to generate exact baffle specs for low-heel roofs
App Concept
LowHeel Vent Chute
A pre-formed, adjustable rigid foam baffle system designed specifically for low-heel roof pitches. It bridges the gap between top plate and roof sheathing, creating a continuous air channel from soffit to attic, with integrated foam seals for a tight fit.
Key Features
- Adjustable length to fit various heel heights (2-6 inches)
- Pre-scored for easy trimming to roof pitch (3:12 to 6:12)
- Integrated foam gaskets at top and bottom for airtight seal
- Lightweight, rigid closed-cell foam with R-value insulation
Target Users: Professional roofers and attic specialists working on residential low-slope roofs with limited heel height
Revenue Model: $12-$18 per unit, sold in packs of 10; direct-to-contractor via roofing supply distributors or online
