The 1x6 Joto-Vent Reinforcement Block is made for high vertical load points where extra bearing support is needed. For 2x6 Joto-Vent, there is no dedicated block, but an insert block can be added in the anchor hole to increase load capacity when needed. In both cases, final selection and placement should be reviewed by the engineer of record.

Joto-Vent comes in two thickness options, and each one offers different benefits for ventilation and installation. The 1x6 option is a good fit for perimeter venting and can also support WUI requirements with the right covering. The 2x6 option provides more vent area and can make installation easier while helping balance performance and cost.

Joto-Vent has been used in Japan for nearly 50 years, where earthquakes happen often. It helps reduce moisture by separating concrete from wood and allowing air to move through the crawl space. With full-perimeter ventilation and flexible design options, Joto-Vent helps support long-term durability.

Rethinking sill sealers in crawl space homes: instead of compressing foam to “seal” the foundation–sill joint, Joto-Vent separates concrete and wood to create a capillary break and a continuous drying air gap.

Because it doesn’t absorb water, it won’t hold moisture at the interface—helping both the concrete and framing dry more effectively.

Field-Tested in Washington State

We recently completed on-site measurements at a real home in Washington State to compare the Joto-Vent System® with conventional crawl-space vents.

The results were clear:
Joto-Vent provided even, consistent airflow across the entire crawl space — perimeter, center, and corners. Temperature and moisture levels closely matched outdoor air, showing balanced ventilation with no stagnant areas.

Traditional vents told a different story. They performed well only near vent openings, while corners stayed poorly ventilated and tended to hold more moisture — the areas where mold and decay usually begin.

By delivering uniform airflow, the Joto-Vent System® helps reduce moisture risk in crawl spaces, especially in corner areas where most problems start.

If you’d like more details, we can share the full measurement report from this project.

Joto-Vent requires anchor bolt spacing to account for the ventilation gap per ICC-ES AC497, with allowable dimensions defined in ESR-4161 for prescriptive design.
