Why Attic Ventilation Is Critical in Texas
Texas homeowners face a unique roofing challenge: extreme heat that attacks roofing materials from both sides. While solar radiation bakes shingles from above, a poorly ventilated attic creates a superheated oven below, trapping temperatures of 140–160°F that radiate through the roof deck and accelerate material degradation from the underside. This dual-sided thermal assault is why asphalt shingles in Texas typically last 15–20 years rather than the 25–30 years achieved in cooler northern climates.
Proper attic ventilation creates a continuous airflow path that carries superheated air out of the attic space, reducing temperatures by 20–40°F. This single improvement extends roof material life by 5–10 years, reduces summer cooling costs by 10–15%, prevents moisture-related problems like mold and wood rot, and satisfies shingle manufacturer warranty requirements. For Texas homeowners, inadequate ventilation is not just an energy efficiency issue — it is the number one controllable factor in premature roof failure.
The problem is especially acute in North Texas (Dallas–Fort Worth), Central Texas (Austin, San Antonio), and West Texas (El Paso, Lubbock), where summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F for 30–60 days per year. Even Gulf Coast cities like Houston, where humidity adds a moisture dimension to the problem, benefit enormously from proper ventilation. In this guide, we will walk through every component of a properly ventilated and insulated Texas attic system, from radiant barriers and ridge vents to insulation requirements and moisture prevention strategies.
Warning: Major shingle manufacturers including GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed require adequate attic ventilation as a condition of their product warranties. If your attic ventilation does not meet code minimums and your shingles fail prematurely, the manufacturer can deny your warranty claim. This is one of the most common reasons roofing warranties are voided in Texas.
Texas Attic Insulation Requirements (IECC 2021)
Texas insulation requirements are governed by the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), as adopted by individual cities. Most major Texas cities have adopted the 2021 IECC or later editions. The state is divided into two primary climate zones for insulation purposes, each with specific R-value minimums for attic insulation.
R-value measures thermal resistance — how effectively insulation resists heat flow. Higher R-values mean better insulation performance. In Texas, where the primary goal is keeping conditioned (cooled) air inside during the long, brutal summer, adequate attic insulation is one of the most impactful energy investments a homeowner can make. Every dollar spent on bringing insulation up to R-38 returns $2–$4 in reduced cooling costs over the insulation lifespan.
| IECC Climate Zone | Texas Cities | Attic R-Value | Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zone 2 | Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, McAllen, Brownsville, Laredo | R-38 | R-49 |
| Zone 3 | Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, El Paso, Lubbock, Amarillo, Waco | R-38 | R-49 |
| Zone 4 (Panhandle) | Amarillo (northern edge) | R-49 | R-60 |
Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation
The most common and cost-effective insulation for Texas attics. Blown-in fiberglass (Owens Corning ProPink L77, Johns Manville Climate Pro, CertainTeed InsulSafe) provides excellent coverage and fills gaps around obstructions that batt insulation cannot reach. To achieve R-38, you need approximately 12–13 inches of blown-in fiberglass at a settled density of 0.7–1.0 lbs per cubic foot. For R-49, approximately 16–17 inches is required. Cost for a typical Texas home: $1,200–$2,500 to reach R-38 from a starting point of R-19 or less. Fiberglass does not absorb moisture and resists mold growth, making it well-suited for humid Gulf Coast environments. The material is non-combustible and will not settle significantly over time if installed at proper density.
Blown-In Cellulose Insulation
Made from recycled newspaper treated with borate fire retardant, cellulose offers a slightly higher R-value per inch (R-3.7 vs. R-3.2 for fiberglass) and better air sealing properties due to its denser installation. To achieve R-38, approximately 10–11 inches of settled cellulose is required. Cellulose costs slightly less than fiberglass ($1,000–$2,200 for a typical Texas home) but has an important limitation in Texas: it can absorb moisture. In humid Gulf Coast areas (Houston, Beaumont, Galveston), cellulose should only be used with proper vapor barriers and adequate ventilation to prevent moisture absorption that reduces insulating effectiveness. For DFW, Austin, and West Texas, cellulose performs well and is a cost-effective alternative to fiberglass.
Spray Foam Insulation (Open-Cell and Closed-Cell)
Spray foam provides the highest R-value per inch and creates an air-tight seal that eliminates convective heat transfer. Open-cell spray foam (R-3.6 per inch) is applied at the roof deck level, converting the attic from a vented to an unvented (sealed) attic assembly. This approach brings ductwork and HVAC equipment into the conditioned building envelope, dramatically reducing cooling loads in Texas where ductwork in superheated attics is a major source of energy loss. Closed-cell spray foam (R-6.5 per inch) provides superior moisture resistance and structural reinforcement but costs significantly more. For a typical Texas attic, open-cell spray foam applied to the roof deck costs $3,500–$7,000, while closed-cell ranges from $6,000–$12,000. The energy savings from bringing ductwork into the conditioned space typically provide a 5–8 year payback.
Radiant Barriers: The Texas Secret Weapon
Radiant barriers are arguably the single most important attic energy upgrade for Texas homeowners, yet many homes still lack this relatively inexpensive technology. A radiant barrier is a highly reflective material — typically aluminum foil laminated to kraft paper, oriented strand board (OSB), or polyethylene backing — that reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it. When installed on the underside of roof rafters or on the attic floor, a radiant barrier reflects 90–97% of the radiant heat that would otherwise pass through the roof assembly and heat the attic space.
The Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station has conducted extensive research on radiant barriers in Texas climates, finding that a properly installed radiant barrier reduces attic temperatures by 20–30°F and cuts summer cooling costs by 5–15%, depending on existing insulation levels, duct location, and home configuration. For homes with ductwork in the attic (which accounts for 70–80% of Texas homes), the savings are at the higher end of the range because the cooler attic air surrounding the ducts reduces thermal losses through duct walls.
The most effective installation method in Texas is attaching radiant barrier foil to the underside of the roof rafters, creating a reflective surface that bounces radiant heat back toward the roof deck before it can radiate into the attic space. This method is preferred over laying radiant barrier on the attic floor because rafter-mounted barriers do not accumulate dust (which reduces reflectivity) and maintain a clear air gap that is essential for radiant heat reflection. During a roof replacement, radiant barrier decking — OSB sheathing with a factory-applied reflective coating on the underside — provides an even more durable solution that integrates the barrier directly into the roof structure.
Radiant Barrier Foil (Retrofit)
Cost: $800–$1,800 installed
Best for: Existing homes without a radiant barrier
Method: Stapled to the underside of roof rafters with a 1-inch air gap
Effectiveness: Reduces radiant heat gain by 90–97%
Payback: 2–4 years based on TX electricity rates
Durability: 25+ years with no maintenance required
Radiant Barrier Decking (New Roof)
Cost: $500–$1,500 upgrade during re-roof
Best for: Homes undergoing roof replacement
Method: Factory-coated OSB replaces standard roof decking
Effectiveness: Same 90–97% radiant heat reflection
Payback: 1–3 years (lower cost vs. retrofit)
Brands: LP TechShield, RoyOMartin StructurShield
Pro Tip:If you are getting a roof replacement in Texas, ask your contractor about radiant barrier decking (LP TechShield or equivalent). The upgrade cost of $500–$1,500 over standard OSB is one of the highest-ROI improvements you can make. The radiant barrier is integrated into the decking itself, so there is no additional labor cost for installation, and the reflective coating is protected from dust accumulation by the shingles above.
Attic Ventilation Systems for Texas Homes
Effective attic ventilation requires a balanced system with intake vents near the bottom of the roof (soffits/eaves) and exhaust vents near the top (ridge or roof-mounted). This creates natural convection: hot air rises and exits through upper vents, drawing cooler outside air in through the lower vents. For Texas homes, where attic temperatures can exceed 150°F on summer afternoons, proper ventilation is the difference between a roof that lasts 20+ years and one that fails in 12–15.
The IRC requires a minimum ventilation ratio of 1:150 (1 square foot of net free vent area per 150 square feet of attic floor), reducible to 1:300 with balanced upper/lower ventilation or a vapor barrier. In Texas, most roofing professionals recommend exceeding these minimums by 25–50% to adequately manage the extreme heat loads. Below are the primary ventilation components used in Texas attic systems.
Ridge Vents (Exhaust)
Continuous ridge vents run the entire length of the roof peak and are the most effective exhaust vent type for Texas homes. They provide uniform ventilation across the entire attic, are virtually invisible from the ground (hidden beneath ridge cap shingles), and have no moving parts to fail in Texas wind and hail. Ridge vents are installed by cutting a 1–2 inch slot along the roof peak and covering it with a baffled vent strip that allows hot air to exit while blocking wind-driven rain. Cost: $400–$1,200 installed during a roof replacement. The most effective ridge vents for Texas include Cobra Exhaust Vent (GAF), VentSure (Owens Corning), and Air Vent Shingle-Over. Ridge vents must be paired with adequate soffit intake vents to function properly — without intake air, a ridge vent cannot create the convection loop needed to move hot air.
Soffit Vents (Intake)
Soffit vents are installed in the eave overhang area and serve as intake vents, drawing cooler outside air into the bottom of the attic space. Continuous perforated soffit panels provide the most uniform intake airflow, while individual round or rectangular soffit vents work well in homes with solid (non-perforated) soffit material. The key requirement is that insulation must not block soffit vents — foam rafter baffles (also called insulation baffles or ProVent chutes) should be installed at each rafter bay to maintain a clear air channel from the soffit to the attic space above the insulation. In Texas, blocked soffit vents are the number one cause of inadequate ventilation because blown-in insulation migrates into the eave area over time. During a roof replacement, installing new rafter baffles in every bay costs $300–$600 and ensures your soffit vents remain clear for the life of the roof.
Powered Attic Ventilators (PAVs)
Powered attic ventilators use electric or solar-powered fans to actively exhaust hot air from the attic. In Texas, solar-powered attic fans are increasingly popular because they operate at maximum speed during the hottest, sunniest parts of the day when they are needed most. A properly sized solar attic fan moves 1,000–1,600 CFM (cubic feet per minute) and costs $300–$800 installed. Electric PAVs are more powerful (1,200–2,000+ CFM) but add to monthly electricity costs. PAVs are most appropriate for Texas homes where passive ventilation is insufficient due to architectural constraints such as hip roofs with limited ridge length, low-slope roofs where natural convection is weak, or homes with inadequate soffit intake that cannot be easily upgraded. Important: a PAV should supplement, not replace, soffit and ridge vents. An attic fan without adequate intake vents can create negative pressure that pulls conditioned air from the living space through ceiling penetrations, increasing cooling costs rather than reducing them.
Gable Vents and Turbine Vents
Gable vents (louvered openings in the triangular gable wall) and turbine vents (wind-driven spinning caps) are older ventilation technologies still found on many Texas homes. While they provide some ventilation, both are significantly less effective than ridge/soffit systems for Texas heat. Gable vents only ventilate a small zone near each gable end, leaving the center of the attic stagnant. Turbine vents depend on wind speed and only move significant air when wind exceeds 5–8 mph, which is not always the case on calm, hot Texas afternoons when ventilation is needed most. If your Texas home currently relies on gable or turbine vents, upgrading to a continuous ridge/soffit system during a roof replacement is strongly recommended. Note: when installing a ridge vent system, gable vents should be sealed or removed to prevent short-circuiting the ventilation loop (wind entering the gable vent and exiting the ridge vent without traveling through the full attic space).
How Proper Ventilation Extends Roof Life in Texas Heat
The connection between attic ventilation and roof lifespan is direct and measurable. In Texas, a roof with proper ventilation lasts 5–10 years longer than an identical roof with inadequate ventilation. The mechanisms are well understood and supported by both manufacturer testing and decades of field experience in Texas climates.
Reduced Thermal Cycling
Without ventilation, the roof deck in a Texas attic can reach 180°F during the day and cool to 75°F at night — a 105°F daily temperature swing. This extreme thermal cycling causes shingle materials to expand and contract repeatedly, breaking down the asphalt binder, loosening granules, and creating microscopic cracks that admit moisture. Proper ventilation reduces peak deck temperature to 130–140°F, cutting the daily thermal swing by 35–40% and dramatically reducing thermal fatigue.
Preserved Shingle Oils
Asphalt shingles contain volatile oils that keep the material flexible and waterproof. Excessive heat accelerates the evaporation of these oils through a process called “outgassing.” In a poorly ventilated Texas attic, shingles lose these essential oils 30–50% faster than properly ventilated roofs, becoming brittle, prone to cracking, and less resistant to hail impact. Once the oils are gone, the shingle becomes a rigid, granule-covered shell that cracks under thermal stress or hail impact.
Moisture Management
Even in dry Central and West Texas, attics generate moisture from bathroom exhaust, cooking, and daily living activities. Without ventilation, this moisture condenses on cooler surfaces (particularly during winter nights), leading to wood rot in roof decking and rafters, mold growth, and degraded insulation performance. In Gulf Coast Texas (Houston, Beaumont, Galveston), high outdoor humidity combined with air-conditioned interiors creates particularly challenging moisture dynamics that require robust ventilation to manage. Proper ventilation carries moisture-laden air out of the attic before it can condense and cause damage.
Warranty Compliance
GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed all require minimum attic ventilation as a condition of their shingle warranties. The specific requirement is typically 1 square foot of net free vent area per 150 square feet of attic floor space, balanced between intake and exhaust. If a warranty claim investigation reveals inadequate ventilation, the manufacturer can deny coverage — even if the shingle defect would have occurred regardless. In Texas, where warranty claims are common due to hail damage, ensuring proper ventilation protects your warranty investment.
Energy Savings from Ventilation and Insulation in Texas
Texas homeowners spend an average of $2,400–$3,600 per year on electricity, with air conditioning accounting for 40–50% of that total during the long summer months. A properly ventilated and insulated attic system reduces cooling costs by 15–30% through three mechanisms: radiant barriers reflect solar heat before it enters the attic, adequate insulation slows heat transfer from the attic into living spaces, and ventilation carries hot air out of the attic to reduce the overall heat load on the HVAC system.
The combined annual savings from a complete attic ventilation and insulation upgrade in Texas typically range from $350–$900 per year, depending on home size, existing conditions, HVAC efficiency, and local electricity rates. Over 20 years, that translates to $7,000–$18,000 in cumulative energy savings — plus the additional value of extending your roof's lifespan by 5–10 years, avoiding one or more premature replacements worth $8,000–$16,000 each.
| Upgrade | Cost | Annual Savings | Payback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radiant Barrier (foil retrofit) | $800–$1,800 | $100–$350 | 2–4 yrs |
| Insulation to R-38 (from R-19) | $1,200–$2,500 | $150–$400 | 3–6 yrs |
| Ridge/soffit vent upgrade | $700–$2,000 | $75–$200 | 4–8 yrs |
| Solar attic fan | $300–$800 | $50–$150 | 3–5 yrs |
| Complete system upgrade | $3,000–$7,000 | $350–$900 | 3–5 yrs |
Preventing Moisture Buildup in Texas Attics
Moisture management is a critical but often overlooked aspect of Texas attic systems. While most homeowners focus on heat management, moisture problems can cause even more expensive damage than heat alone. In the humid Gulf Coast region (Houston, Beaumont, Galveston, Corpus Christi), outdoor relative humidity regularly exceeds 80%, making attic moisture control essential. Even in drier Central and West Texas, daily living activities generate 2–4 gallons of water vapor per household per day through cooking, bathing, and breathing, much of which migrates upward into the attic.
The consequences of unchecked attic moisture in Texas include mold growth on roof decking and rafters (remediation costs $2,000–$8,000), wood rot that weakens structural members, degraded insulation performance (wet fiberglass loses 40–60% of its R-value), and rusted metal components including nails, hurricane clips, and HVAC equipment. A comprehensive moisture prevention strategy combines proper ventilation, vapor barriers, sealed exhaust pathways, and air sealing to keep attic humidity below 60%.
1. Vent All Exhausts to the Exterior
Ensure all bathroom exhaust fans, kitchen range hoods, and dryer vents terminate outside the building envelope — never into the attic. This is the single most common moisture violation in Texas homes, and one of the most damaging. A single bathroom fan venting into the attic adds 200+ gallons of water vapor per year.
2. Install a Vapor Barrier
A 6-mil polyethylene vapor barrier installed on the warm (living space) side of the attic insulation prevents conditioned indoor air from migrating into the attic space, where it can condense on cooler surfaces during winter nights. In Texas Zone 2 (humid), proper vapor barrier placement is critical to prevent moisture-laden indoor air from reaching the cooler attic environment during the rare winter cold snaps.
3. Seal Attic Penetrations
Seal all penetrations between the living space and the attic, including recessed light housings (use IC-rated fixtures), plumbing vent stacks, electrical wire chases, HVAC duct boots, and attic access hatches. These penetrations allow conditioned air and moisture to bypass insulation and enter the attic. Air sealing alone can reduce energy loss by 10–20%.
4. Balanced Ventilation
Maintain balanced intake and exhaust ventilation to ensure continuous airflow that carries moisture-laden air out of the attic. In Gulf Coast Texas, consider solar-powered attic ventilators with humidistats that activate when attic humidity exceeds 60%, providing active moisture removal during periods of high humidity even when temperatures are moderate.
Common Ventilation Problems in Texas Homes
Many Texas homes have ventilation deficiencies that are silently shortening roof life and increasing energy costs. Here are the most common problems we see in Texas attic inspections, along with the solution for each.
Blocked Soffit Vents
The most common ventilation problem in Texas homes. Blown-in insulation migrates into the eave area over time, partially or completely blocking soffit intake vents. Without intake air, ridge vents and attic fans cannot function, and the attic becomes a sealed heat trap. Solution: Install foam rafter baffles (Proper Vent, AccuVent) in every rafter bay during your roof replacement to create a permanent air channel from the soffit to the attic space above the insulation. Cost: $300–$600 during a re-roof.
Mixed Ventilation Types
Many Texas homes have a hodgepodge of ventilation types added over the years — gable vents from the original construction, turbine vents added later, and perhaps a partial ridge vent from a past re-roof. Mixing exhaust vent types can short-circuit the ventilation system: wind entering a gable vent may exit through a nearby turbine vent without ever ventilating the majority of the attic space. Solution: Choose one exhaust vent type (ridge vent is best) and seal or remove all others.
Insufficient Vent Area
Older Texas homes (pre-1990) were often built with minimal ventilation that met the lower standards of the era. A 2,000 sqft home might have only 4–6 square feet of net free vent area when code requires 13+ square feet. These homes trap excessive heat and moisture, leading to premature shingle failure and mold problems. Solution: During a roof replacement, install a full-length ridge vent and add or upgrade soffit vents to meet or exceed the 1:150 ventilation ratio.
Bathroom Fans Venting into Attic
A surprisingly common code violation in Texas homes: bathroom exhaust fans that terminate in the attic rather than running through the roof or wall to the exterior. Each use of the bathroom exhaust pumps warm, moisture-laden air directly into the attic, where it condenses on cooler surfaces and promotes mold growth. Solution: Extend all exhaust fan ducts through the roof or a gable wall using insulated flex duct to prevent condensation inside the duct itself. Cost: $150–$400 per vent run.

Frequently Asked Questions: Texas Attic Ventilation & Insulation
Frequently Asked Questions
What insulation R-value does Texas require for attics?
Texas insulation requirements vary by climate zone. Most of Texas falls in IECC Climate Zones 2 and 3, which require R-38 attic insulation for new construction and major renovations. Zone 2 (southern Texas including Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and the Rio Grande Valley) requires a minimum of R-38. Zone 3 (northern Texas including Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and the Panhandle) also requires R-38, though R-49 is recommended for optimal energy performance. These requirements apply when more than 50% of the roof covering is replaced during a roof replacement project. In practice, upgrading to R-38 during a roof replacement adds $1,500-$3,500 depending on attic size and existing insulation levels.
Are radiant barriers worth it in Texas?
Yes, radiant barriers are one of the most cost-effective energy upgrades for Texas homes. A radiant barrier consists of reflective foil or coated sheathing installed on the underside of roof rafters or on top of attic insulation. In Texas, where summer attic temperatures routinely reach 140-160 degrees Fahrenheit, a properly installed radiant barrier reduces attic temperatures by 20-30 degrees and cuts cooling costs by 5-15%. The typical cost is $800-$2,500 for a standard Texas home, with a payback period of 2-4 years based on Texas electricity rates averaging $0.13-$0.15 per kWh. Radiant barriers are most cost-effective when installed during a roof replacement because the open roof deck provides easy access. The Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station has conducted extensive research confirming radiant barrier effectiveness in Texas climates.
How much ventilation does a Texas attic need?
The International Residential Code adopted by most Texas cities requires a minimum ventilation ratio of 1:150, meaning 1 square foot of net free vent area per 150 square feet of attic floor space. This ratio can be reduced to 1:300 when a vapor barrier is present on the warm side of the ceiling or when the ventilation is balanced between upper (ridge/roof) and lower (soffit/eave) vents. For a typical 2,000 square foot Texas home, this translates to approximately 13.3 square feet of net free vent area at 1:150, or 6.7 square feet at 1:300. In Texas extreme heat, most roofing professionals recommend exceeding code minimums by 25-50% to adequately manage the intense solar heat load that standard ventilation calculations were not originally designed for.
What type of attic ventilation is best for Texas homes?
Continuous soffit-to-ridge ventilation is the gold standard for Texas attics. This passive system creates a natural convection loop: cool outside air enters through perforated soffit vents along the eaves, flows upward along the underside of the roof deck (absorbing heat), and exits through a continuous ridge vent at the roof peak. This system requires no electricity, has no moving parts to fail, and provides consistent airflow across the entire roof deck surface. For Texas homes without adequate soffit space or with hip roofs that limit ridge vent length, powered attic ventilators (solar-powered models are popular) can supplement passive ventilation. Gable vents alone are insufficient for Texas heat because they only ventilate a small portion of the attic space near the gable ends. Turbine (whirlybird) vents provide moderate airflow but are less effective than ridge vents for uniform ventilation.
Does proper attic ventilation really extend roof life in Texas?
Yes, proper attic ventilation can extend roof material lifespan by 5-10 years in Texas. Without adequate ventilation, attic temperatures in Texas homes regularly exceed 150 degrees Fahrenheit in summer, causing asphalt shingles to bake from both sides -- solar radiation from above and radiant heat from the superheated attic below. This accelerates granule loss, dries out shingle oils, and causes premature curling and cracking. Shingle manufacturers including GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed require adequate ventilation as a condition of their warranty coverage. Inadequate ventilation that leads to premature failure is one of the most common reasons manufacturers deny warranty claims. In Texas, where shingles already face shortened lifespans due to extreme UV exposure, adding inadequate ventilation to the equation can reduce an architectural shingle lifespan from 18-22 years to just 12-15 years.
Can I add insulation and ventilation during a roof replacement?
Yes, a roof replacement is the ideal time to upgrade both insulation and ventilation because the roof deck is fully exposed, providing maximum access. During a roof replacement, your contractor can install a radiant barrier on the underside of the new roof decking ($800-$2,500), add or upgrade ridge vents ($400-$1,200), install new soffit vents or replace clogged ones ($300-$800), and blow in additional insulation to reach R-38 ($1,500-$3,500). Bundling these upgrades with your roof replacement saves 20-35% compared to doing them as separate projects because the labor and access costs are shared. Many Texas roofers offer ventilation and insulation upgrade packages specifically because the economics are so favorable when combined with a re-roof. Ask your RoofVista contractor about bundled pricing for ventilation and insulation upgrades during your roof replacement.
How do I prevent moisture buildup in my Texas attic?
Moisture buildup in Texas attics is primarily caused by inadequate ventilation trapping humid air, particularly in the Gulf Coast region where outdoor humidity levels regularly exceed 80%. The solution requires a balanced ventilation system with intake vents (soffits) at the bottom and exhaust vents (ridge) at the top, creating continuous airflow that carries moisture-laden air out of the attic. Additionally, ensure all bathroom exhaust fans, dryer vents, and kitchen range hoods vent to the exterior rather than into the attic -- a surprisingly common code violation in Texas homes. Install a vapor barrier (6-mil polyethylene) on the warm side of the ceiling insulation to prevent conditioned indoor air from migrating into the attic. Seal all attic penetrations including recessed light housings, plumbing vents, and electrical chases. In Houston and Gulf Coast areas, consider adding a dehumidification strategy such as a solar-powered attic ventilator with a humidistat that activates when attic humidity exceeds 60%.
