Attic Armor

Your roof is designed to keep rain, snow, and the elements outside, but traditional ridge vents can still leave an overlooked pathway into your attic for pests. Carden Home Improvement now offers Attic Armor installation for homeowners throughout Plainville, Southington, and Central Connecticut, adding another layer of protection where your home can be particularly vulnerable.

Attic Armor is an innovative pest-deterrent system installed underneath your roof's ridge vents. It creates a physical barrier designed to help prevent non-chewing pests such as bats, bees, bugs, and other unwanted intruders from gaining access to your attic while allowing the ridge vent to perform its important ventilation function.

We've been using Attic Armor as part of our commitment to building more complete roofing systems and giving Connecticut homeowners greater peace of mind.

Attic Armor is a specialized barrier installed directly beneath the ridge vent of your roofing system. Its purpose is simple: help close off a common pest entry point before an infestation happens.

Ridge vents play an important role in a properly ventilated roof. They allow hot, humid air to escape from the attic, helping manage heat and moisture throughout the year. However, repeated expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes can cause ridge vents to lift or develop small gaps along their edges.

Those gaps may not look significant from the ground, but they can create an opening into the attic.

Attic Armor is installed underneath the ridge vent to create an additional barrier between these openings and your attic space, helping deter unwanted pests without interfering with the ridge vent's intended ventilation.

Connecticut roofs experience significant temperature swings throughout the year. A roof can be exposed to freezing temperatures and snow in the winter followed by intense sunlight and heat during the summer.

As roofing components repeatedly heat up and cool down, ridge vents can expand, contract, lift, and develop gaps along their edges.

For homeowners, the frustrating part is that the ridge vent may still appear perfectly normal from above. Underneath it, however, a small opening may provide a pathway directly into the attic.

Once pests get inside, homeowners can be left dealing with contamination, nests, property damage, pest-control expenses, and the challenge of determining how the animals entered in the first place.

Attic Armor takes a preventive approach by addressing this potential entry point as part of the roofing system.

Attic Armor is designed as a deterrent for non-chewing pests that may otherwise enter through openings around a ridge vent.

It can help protect against pests such as:

• Bats
• Bees
• Bugs and insects
• Other non-chewing pests capable of entering ridge-vent openings



Rather than waiting until you hear something moving around above your ceiling, Attic Armor gives homeowners an opportunity to address a potential entry point proactively.

Proactive Pest Protection

Instead of waiting for pests to enter the attic and then paying to remove them, Attic Armor helps address a potential access point before an infestation begins.

Works With Your Ridge Vent

Attic Armor is designed to integrate underneath the ridge vent while allowing the roof ventilation system to continue doing its job.

Hidden Within the Roofing System

Once installed, Attic Armor sits underneath the ridge vent. It adds protection without changing the finished appearance of your roof.

Long-Term Peace of Mind

Your roof is a major investment. Adding protection against potential pest infiltration helps create a more complete roofing system and can help reduce the risk of unexpected pest-control problems down the road.

Made in the USA

Attic Armor is manufactured in the United States using domestically manufactured materials.

When you're investing in a new roof, it makes sense to think beyond shingles.

A complete roofing system includes decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, shingles, and the details that help all of those components work together. At Carden Home Improvement, we're always looking for ways to improve the roofing systems we install and provide greater long-term value for our customers.

That's why we've added Attic Armor to the roofing solutions we offer.

It's a relatively simple addition during the roofing process that addresses a problem many homeowners don't think about until pests have already found their way inside.
