Once you have made the decision to install gable vents made of wood what else should you consider? Well, you need to consider the style of your home. View your home from street level; what you see is the first impression of what others see as well. An advantage to installing wooden gable vents is that they will not cause degradation to the value of your home. In comparison, materials such as plastic or faux wood will make your home look less valuable.

Also, remember to not choose products specifically made to resemble real wood. These impersonators do not provide the important traits associated with “real wooden” gables and, when you stand back and look at your home, you will be able to tell that the cheaper versions of wood gable vents are not the real thing.
