ABSTRACT:
A ridge vent for covering the opening at the peak of a roof. The ridge vent is composed of a first panel portion joined to a second panel portion to form a generally inverted V-shaped web portion which fits over the peak of the roof. The web portion has an interior surface on which a plurality of V-shaped baffles are disposed to support the vent on the roof. The baffles are disposed in an overlapping pattern to resist rain and snow from entering the building. The ridge vent also has ventilation ribs with openings therebetween the ribs extending downwardly from each side of the web portion to allow passage of air into and out of the openings. An angled flange is provided at either side of the ridge vent to deflect air upwardly and over the roof and to create negative air pressure. Alignment tabs and flaps are provided to connect contiguous vent panels together along a roof peak. Nail holes are provided for securing the vent panels to the roof. Another embodiment of the vent is a flashing-type vent for use with half-ridge roofs and the like.
