How it Operates:
The Round Back Intake Roof Vent will provide fresh air into the attic. Without proper rooftop ventilation, heat and moisture may cause the structure to decay. As a result, ventilation helps to make a home more comfortable and energy efficient.
The top 1/3 of the collar is closed to prevent runoff from splashing inside the vent. This side is to be facing the ridge.
The vented lid is manufactured from one piece of spun aluminum, which prevents rain and snow from entering the attic. The round design is aerodynamic and can withstand wind pressure exceeding 200 mph. All Round Back roof vents are resistant to corrosion and will remain rust-free for the life of the roof.
The inner louvers of the roof vent keep insects and animals from entering the attic. The louvers also allow the air to flow freely to the outside.
This 12-inch roof vent is also great for residential roof applications because of its aesthetically pleasing appearance. Because of their low profile, the Round Back Vents can also be painted to match the color of asphalt shingle roofs.
