Roof Ventilation: Is Key to a Healthy Attic

Proper roof ventilation is essential for maintaining a healthy attic environment. One effective solution is the Aura Gravity Ventilator. Unlike traditional roof turbines, this innovative vent operates without moving parts.

Understanding the Aura Gravity Ventilator

The Aura Gravity Ventilator utilizes a unique design that harnesses the power of the Venturi Effect and the Stack Effect to create efficient airflow. Rather than relying on spinning mechanisms, the roof vent's outer louvers create a vortex when the wind blows against them, drawing air up and out of the vent. This natural ventilation process allows for the removal of heat in the summer and moisture in the winter, ensuring year-round ventilation.

The Collar Height is the height of the neck of the vent.

Features and Benefits

1. Optimal Airflow and Protection

The Aura Gravity Ventilator louvers are formed with a triple-louver design, creating 1/8-inch openings around the roof vent. This design allows optimal airflow, preventing rain, snow, insects, and wildlife from entering the attic. The gravity vent is made of durable aluminum, ensuring it will not rust over time. It suits residential and commercial buildings and flat or steep slope roofs.

2. Versatility and Adaptability

With an array of diameters and collar heights available, a homeowner or a professional can install the Aura Gravity Ventilator in any climate zone and on all types of roofs. Consult the Climate Zone Chart to determine the appropriate collar height for installation in your area. If you need to ventilate a duct, AVP offers roof vents with a tailpipe adapter. AVP provides gravity vents with curb mount flanges for installations on roof curbs.

3. Exceptional Durability,

The Aura Gravity Ventilator is built to withstand extreme weather conditions. It is UL-listed and rated up to 50+ PSF, equating to over 200mph of wind pressure, surpassing the requirements for a category five hurricane. It is also certified by the Texas Department of Insurance, approved by Florida State, and conforms to the standards of CALFIRE according to third-party testing. These certifications ensure the vent will perform reliably and effectively in even the harshest climates.

How the Aura Gravity Ventilator Works

Now that we understand the Aura Gravity Ventilator's features and benefits, let's delve into how this innovative vent accomplishes the function of exhaust ventilation. When an outside breeze enters the outer row of louvers, the angled design causes the wind to turn around the circumference of the vent quickly. This spinning air creates suction towards the center of the vent, resulting in a vacuum that extracts heat and moisture from the attic. The animation above demonstrates this process, and airflow ratings documented by Georgia Tech further validate the efficiency of the Aura Gravity Ventilator.

Installation and Maintenance

Installing the Aura Gravity Ventilator is a straightforward process. Homeowners and professionals can install these vents on both new roofs and as a replacement for old roof turbines. Consult the installation instructions provided by AVP to ensure proper installation and maximize the vent's effectiveness. The roof vents are maintenance-free.
