Description
Exceptional baffle performance with the convenience of a roll
For years, Air Vent's independent research and testing have demonstrated that the best performing ridge vent, in terms of airflow and weather protection, is an externally baffled ridge vent. We've taken that technology and rolled it (literally) into our newest ridge vents in 28-foot rolls: Peak Performer™ I (unfiltered) and II (filtered). They install fast and are virtually invisible on the roof.
Features:
- 12 square inches net free area per linear foot
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
- 5-year Replacement Plus™ Protection
- 28-foot rolls -- 25 rolls per pallet
- Free nails -- Two coils of roofing nails are included.
- Fast and Easy Installation -- Internal ribbing adds rigidity to make the vent nail gun friendly. Roll it out and nail it down.
- Enhanced Airflow -- The external baffle creates low pressure above the vent openings as the wind blows to increase airflow performance and deflect weather away from the attic.
- Built-in End Plugs -- There's no need for separate end plugs. Peak Performer I and II have integrated end plugs.
- Double Weather Protection -- Peak Performer II's internal weather filter acts as a secondary level of defense against weather infiltration.
VenturVent™ Roll
This low-profile, shingle-over vent installs at the peak of the roof allowing exhaust ventilation along the entire ridge -- end-to-end.
- 20-foot rolls -- 12 rolls per pallet
RidgeVent 20
Low-profile, shingle-over vents your attic/building. Once installed, its almost invisible.
- 17 square inches net free area per linear foot
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
- 20-foot rolls -- 24 rolls per pallet
- Coil of roofing nails with every roll
- Eliminate Waste -- Every cut-off can be used

THE SIMPLE MATHEMATICS OF A BALANCED RIDGE VENTILATION SYSTEM
- According to most building codes, you need 1 square foot of ventilation for every 150 square feet of attic floor space.
- For new home construction that includes a vapor retarder, the minimum is 1 square foot of ventilation for every 300 square feet of attic floor space.
- If your vents are split between ridge vents and intake vents, the minimum requirement is also 1 square foot of ventilation for every 300 square feet of attic floor space.
To determine how many feet of net free area you need, use this formula:
| Square feet of attic floor space 300 |
= | Square feet of net free area needed |
| For example: | ||
| 1500 square feet of attic floor space 300 |
= | 5 square feet of free are a needed |
- To determine how many feet of ShingleVent® II, Multi-Pitch FilterVent® or VenturiVent Plus™ you need, use this formula:
- 1/2 net free area x 144 ÷ 18 = feet of ridge vent needed
- For example: 2.5 (based on net free area of 5 square feet) x 144 ÷ 18 = 20 feet of ridge vent needed
- To determine how many feet of Air Vent soffit vents you need, use this formula:
- 1/2 net free area x 144 ÷ 9 = feet of soffit vent needed
- For example: 2.5 (based on net free area of 5 square feet) x 144 ÷ 9 = 40 feet of soffit vent needed
- The following charts may be used to:
- 1. Determine how much net free area is needed to satisfy FHA requirements.
- 2. Balance your ridge vent system.
DETERMINING VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
| Attic Square Footage |
Min. Net Free Area Required (if balanced between intake and exhaust) |
Min Length of Ridge |
|
| 1200 1500 1800 2100 2400 2600 3000 3300 |
4' 5' 6' 7' 8' 9' 10' 11' |
576" 720" 864" 1008" 1152" 1296" 1440" 1584" |
16' 20' 24' 28' 32' 36' 40' 44' |
Note: ShingleVent II and Multi-Pitch FilterVent provide 18" of net free area per linear foot.
INSTALLING A BALANCED RIDGE VENT SYSTEM
- Measure the square footage of the attic (length x width).
- Measure the length of the ridge.
- Refer to the chart above for required net free area and minimum length of ridge for attic square footage.
- Note: In most cases, the length of the ridge balanced with the same net free area of intake vents will satisfy FHA minimum standards and most building codes.
- Use the chart below to calculate the amount of intake vents that should be installed to balance your ridge vent system.
- Always install ridge vents from end to end across the entire ridge for best appearance and to provide maximum ventilation area.
- Hip roofs, dormers and T- or L-shaped roofs may require a specially designed ventilation system. For information, request a copy of Air Vent's Principles of Attic Ventilation.See Contact Us.
