Ridge Vents
Ridge vents, positioned at the roof’s peak, facilitate balanced airflow in your attic when paired with intake vents. These vents enhance natural ventilation and can improve the efficiency of your HVAC system by allowing hot air to escape and cooler air to circulate. Integrating ridge vents with spot or exhaust ventilation systems provides a comprehensive solution for maintaining optimal air quality and temperature control.
Improving Ventilation Beyond Traditional Ridge Vents
Rolled Ridge Vents are designed to enhance roof lifespan by utilizing an external baffle. This design promotes airflow while blocking rain, snow, and pests.
Intake Vents continuously supply fresh outdoor air at the roof’s edge, even in homes with minimal or no overhang. Their low-profile design ensures they blend seamlessly with the roofline, maintaining a balanced ventilation system.
