Ridge Vent

Vents exhaust from the attic and extends the life of the roof.
Typical widths are 9” and 12”.
Helps keep the attic cool and reduces air conditioning costs.
Helps prevent ice dams.
Shingle-over ridge vents incorporate shingles that match the roof and are nailed over the vent.
Pre-drilled holes make installation easy.
Most types feature baffles because ridge vents without baffles can allow wind and moisture to enter the attic.
