The Edge Vent
Air Vent Inc.
Residential roofing contractors asked for more control over proper intake attic ventilation. The Edge Vent installs on the roof — during a roofing project — at the very edge of the roof with matching shingles on top. Each four-foot rigid plastic stick provides 9 square inches of airflow per linear foot — making it easy to balance with the exhaust vents. It can be used on roofs with or without an overhang. It’s an easy way to add extra intake during reroofing. It’s suitable for any climate and passed a 30-day ice dam test. For more information, visit airvent.com or call 1-800-AIR-VENT.
Thermally Broken Smoke Vent
BILCO
BILCO’s thermally broken smoke vent minimizes heat transfer and the effects of condensation while providing energy efficiency. It is designed with an element of low conductivity integrated between interior and exterior surfaces of the cover and frame to reduce temperature transfer. The product features three inches of polyisocyanurate insulation with an R-value of 20-plus in the cover and curb for superior energy performance. A unique cover gasket minimizes air leakage, and it is UL-labeled to ensure reliable smoke vent operation in an emergency. For more information, visit bilco.com.
Cool Roof System
Westlake Royal Roofing Solutions
Westlake Royal Cool Roof System is a solution to reduce energy consumption and energy costs, leveraging five key components to enhance ventilation and energy efficiency.
