Question: How much space between insulation and soffit vents?

Eric writes from Forest City, Pennsylvania: "My attic is insulated and I can't see the soffit vents. How much space should there be from the insulation to the soffit vents?"

Answer: I don't think I understand the problem. If the attic is insulated properly with the raft-R-mate® atticrafter vents installed and blocked correctly, you should not be able to see the soffit from the inside of the attic.
