Roof vents provide a system in which the outside air is
quietly passed through to your roof and attic space. When
the temperature outside increases, the air in your roof
heats up and rises to the surface. Once it passes through
the gaps already existing in your roof’s peak, the roof vent
naturally draws in cooler outside air through its soffits,
to replace the air that has just left.
Roof vents boast several advantages over other roof vent
systems. Firstly, because of the drawn in outside air from
the highest point of a roof, they allow for a more efficient
air-flow. This kind of system is most suited to places such
as bathrooms and kitchens. Additionally, roof ridge vents
can be installed with minimum interference to the existing
roof structure, and can be supported by the colors and
textures to match your roof. Because most industrial or
commercial buildings are flat roofed, ridgeline vents are
more generally used as residential roof vents.
