The Edge Vent

Air Vent Inc.

Residential roofing contractors asked for more control over proper intake attic ventilation. The Edge Vent installs on the roof — during a roofing project — at the very edge of the roof with matching shingles on top. Each four-foot rigid, plastic stick provides 9 square inches of airflow per linear foot, making it easy to balance with the exhaust vents. It can be used on roofs with or without overhangs. It’s an easy way to add extra intake to existing, insufficient intake. It’s suitable for any climate and passed a 30-day ice dam test. For more information, visit gibraltarbuildingproducts.com.

X-Top

FlashCo

FlashCo’s X-Top Roof Vents are prefabricated exhaust vents used for non-heated exhaust ventilation. X-Top Vents are commonly used to allow air to freely flow through the vent while prohibiting water from infiltrating the structure. FlashCo X-Top Vents are designed for TPO and PVC roofing systems. The vent eliminates field fabrication, installs in minutes, and has a removable top for easy maintenance. The galvanized steel sub-base meets the minimum 8-inch height requirement typically specified on low-slope roofing systems. X-Top vents come standard with a 1/8-inch galvanized wire mesh and are available in three standard sizes: 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch. For more information, visit flashco.com/product/x-top-vents.
