[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should vent outside but not through the roof. You never want to put holes in the roof if you can avoid it. If the roof has overhangs the best place for them to vent is the soffit, the horizontal space on the bottom of the overhang. If there aren't soffit's available then a wall is the next choice. [/quote] Good post about not wanting to penetrate the roof. Venting into the soffits isn’t to code anymore. It brings air into the bathroom from the outside which can cause condensation depending on the dew point when not in use. And when in use it expels the moist air into the attic assuming there is a corresponding ridge vent. Best option is side wall.[/quote]
