Ridge Vent for Roof Diagonals

Air Vent

Air Vent’s Hip Ridge Vent successfully passed the Miami-Dade County wind-driven rain test.

It passed on 3/12 and 12/12 roof pitches; at wind speeds 35, 70, 90 and 110 mph; while facing over 1,200 gallons of wind-driven rain parallel, perpendicular and at a 45 degree angle to the vent.

Composite Insulation

InsulFoam

InsulVent is a superior composite insulation consisting of a closed-cell, lightweight and resilient expanded polystyrene (EPS) bonded to an APA/TECO-rated oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood. Depending on the ventilation requirements, the channels can be cut to the requested size to increase or reduce airflow. The foam core is cut from the same high-quality stock as our InsulFoam brand roof insulations and, upon request, will meet or exceed the requirements of ASTM C578, Standard Specification for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation. InsulVent has excellent dimensional stability, compressive strength and water resistant properties. For more information, visit www.insulfoam.com.

Ridge Vent and Flash Vent

The Tapco Group

Patented added-pitch design shows more shingle profile and less vent opening for clean, eye-pleasing aesthetics. It easily adapts to a peak vent or flash vent and is designed for roof pitches from 3/12 to 12/12. Patented internal baffle keeps blowing snow and rain from entering, while internal filter blocks out insects, leaves and pine needles. Low-profile design is unobtrusive, but also crushproof with nailing supports and structural ribs; withstands falling tree branches, hammer blows and resists cracking.

Ridge Vent for Tile Roofs

TRA Snow and Sun

TRA Snow and Sun’s Ridge Riser® enables a very simple roof concept that allows air to vent out at the ridge of a tile roof. It opens up the sheathing at the ridge where the 2-by-6 nailer was on the sheathing before. It is made of galvanized steel and requires nothing but nails and a 2-by-2 to create the ideal solution at the ridge, creating savings for the installer and the homeowner in installation and electrical cooling costs. The Ridge Riser® has been tested in Dade County, Florida, and passed the Wind Uplift test. For more information, visit www.trasnowandsun.com.
