How does the Ridgeline Ridge Vent System work? |
To operate effectively, Ridgeline vents use two natural forces--thermal air flow and air pressure. These forces, in combination and separately, allow a uniform stream of air to flow across all inner roof deck surfaces and out of the attic.
This results in balanced flow--something that gable and other venting methods can't achieve. Your attic remains dry, because moisture is constantly being evaporated. And, instead of "spot venting," fresh air circulates in all areas of the attic, prolonging the life of roofing materials. |

Can I use Ridgline Ridge Vents with shingle or cedar shake roofs? |
Absolutely; Ridgeline is effective on shingle, cedar shake and Ondura roofs. |
|
|
Which type of closures are used when installing Ridgeline in conjunction with an Ondura roof? |
Solid closures are used at the peak of the roof, and ventilated closures are used at the eave portions. |
|
|
Why is Ridgeline more effective than other types of vents? |
Continuous air flow is assured with a Ridgeline Ridge Vent. Unlike many other ridge vents, Ridgeline Ridge Vent doesn't contain filters that can become clogged, causing it to lose its efficiency. Turbine vents, including expensive power vents, provide air circulation in a confined area only. Gable vents leave much of the roof unventilated. Hood (or scoop) vents rely on atmospheric pressure for air movement, resulting in inadequate ventilation--even with proper soffit ventilation. |
