FasciaVent by DCI is providing cool air to any pitched roof with 9 NFVA rating. FasciaVent installed on asphalt or metal roofing allows air to enter through the top of the existing fascia board (1-inch incision) and traveling under the entire roof deck and out the preferred exhaust vent. FasciaVent is easy to install. It protects the eaves from gutter leakage and allows 100% airflow with winter snow. FasciaVent is virtually invisible after installation.

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.

The CertainTeed Ridge Vent 12-inch comes in both filtered and unfiltered, and with or without nails.

As a roofing materials manufacturer, IKO understands the vital nature of proper ventilation. This step of the roofing process is necessary to mitigate attic heat build-up and to avoid condensation. Dampness or moisture may cause the roof deck to rot, which can distort the roofing materials. That’s why IKO included a chapter on ventilation in our Blueprint for Roofing YouTube series, the most popular collection of videos on our channel. IKO invites Roofing Contractor readers who are interested in learning more about installation methods for various vent styles and sizes to watch our video. Always follow the vent manufacturers instillation guidelines.
