Roof vents for ribbed metal.

With the additional installation costs of a metal roof homeowners will want to ensure their investment is protected. Metal roofs are becoming more popular for both residential and commercial projects alike. A ridge vent is usually installed near the ridge of the roof just below the ridge cap. The metal ridge vent is a small sleeve that is installed at the top of the roof just under the cap.

Step 1 determine the type of vents you wish to install. However there are a few simple tips that will help make the process a little easier and also ensure that the vents are placed to allow the maximum benefit. Special metal ridge caps install along the length. On a metal roof it can be housed within the perimeter of the ridge cap.

Selecting metal roof and wall panels is a strategic investment for the life of a building. Airflow enters through soffit vents and flows upward through each rafter space until it reaches the roof peak where it exists through a ridge vent. Be sure the larger edge is laid so that the small edge of the next panel will overlap it. Optimal air movement not only promotes temperature regulation and energy efficiency but also reduces the risk of moisture related issues like condensation build up.

Trimline ridge vents are made from a corrugated plastic material that is guaranteed not to crack dent or damage from hail or ice for the entire life of the roof. Install the roofing screws vertically along each rib in the panel. Installing some type of ventilation mechanism on a metal roof is not a lot different from the addition of vents to any type of roof. Install metal panels or shingles align the first metal roofing panel so that it overlaps the edging by 1 2 to 3 4 of an inch and is square to the roof line.
