ABSTRACT:
A rollable baffled ridge vent has a top panel with a laterally flexible central portion and edges. Substantially flat wind baffles are supported outboard of the edges and each wind baffle is formed by an array of aligned coextensive rectangular baffle sections. Each baffle section is supported by a pair of buttresses that project from beneath the top panel. Some of the buttresses also extend inwardly toward the central portion of the panel to form supports for supporting the ridge vent on a roof. The ridge vent can be fabricated in roof length sections that can be rolled into rolls with the baffle sections splaying with respect to each other to provide rollability. For installation, the ridge vent is rolled out along the open ridge of a roof and attached with nails. Superior ventilation is provided by the high net free area and flat wind baffle design of the vent while preserving the convenience of a rollable product.
