Hi all, student here. While on a walk this morning, I noticed these “metal” sheets overlapping the masonry and stucco facades. I did not observe the covers over the vinyl siding. I noticed them on each of the buildings in this condo complex. What is the reasoning behind their use? (I tried Google, but didn’t find any relevant info).
The only other venting I observed was box vents near the ridge line. I assume the air intake from the soffits have been reduced…
It looks like they are trying to hide some gaps. With the entire soffit being vented, I don’t think that these “sheets” are going to reduce ventilation below the required minimum.
