Vent Covers
Foundation vents are a great way to maintain airflow in your home‘s
crawlspace. However, without reliable foundation vent covers, they can also
become a popular passageway into your home for common pests escaping the harsh outdoor
elements. Crawlspace vent covers can be a useful way to prevent this. Lowe‘s
carries a variety of top-of-the-line cover options, so you can safely ventilate
your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I cover my foundation vents?
A: Yes, covering your foundation vents — particularly during the
winter months — is generally a wise idea. Good crawlspace vent covers help
prevent frozen pipes, pest invasions and a variety of other undesirable
situations. As a bonus, covering foundation vents in winter may also prevent
the floors of your home from getting too cold.
Q: How do you cover foundation vents?
A: If you need to seal up your crawlspace, simply measure the
crawlspace dimensions, choose a foundation vent cover and follow the product
instructions for attaching it to the outside of the crawlspace foundation wall.
Be sure to select airtight vent covers if possible, as insects, rodents and
other pests might otherwise find entry points into the crawlspace.
Q: Should foundation vents be open or closed in winter?
A: Using crawlspace vent covers during chilly winter months is a
smart precaution. Cold weather often drives common pests indoors, increasing
the chances of insects or rodents sneaking into your crawlspace. Not only does
covering your foundation vents discourage unwanted pests from making their way
into your home, but it can also warm up cold floors and decrease the likelihood
of frozen pipes.
