Cleanable Soffit Vent • Max Flo Vent
Attic exhaust components like ridge vents, turbines and power vents all have one thing in common: they need intake air to properly function. The soffit vent works to give the proper intake for the exhaust component. Over time the traditional, properly functioning soffit vent becomes clogged with debris and dirt. Until now there has been no way to service the vent after it becomes clogged. The Max Flo Vent is a proudly made-in-the-USA steel vent with a removable, cleanable, perforated aluminum screen. Install Max Flo Vents on your customers’ homes and have proper intake ventilation for a lifetime. For more information, call 817-274-6777 or visit www.supersoffit.com.
