Low Pitch Roof Vent

I m trying to vent a 1 12 roof that has not been vented.

Low pitch roof vent.

So it is essentially boxed in on 3 sides. About 12 x 18. November 19 2014 9 08pm 1. There are over 150 variations of details available from carlisle syntec for epdm roofing systems.

Since most low slope roofs are not vented ice dams are much more likely to occur and cause extensive damages to the roof and the interior of the house as it is a lot easier for water to travel upward on a low pitch roof. Installation is important when it comes to putting a single ply roofing system on a building. The universal design looks great on a shingle roof. The universal dormer vent can be used as an air intake vent or as an air exhaust vent depending on where you install it on the roof.

For example a ridge vent on a low pitch roof will allow the wind driven water to enter the attic. Click here to view our roof pitch diagram chart. But the taller profiles like standing seam and pbr shown below can be installed on roofs with as low as 1 4 or 1 2 in 12 pitch. Look at our fasciavent which has been designed more specifically for metal roofs and provides the intake ventilation for flat to 16 12 pitches.

Active ventilation products. Roof pitches ranging from 0 12 0 degrees to 21 12 60 26 degrees. Because of the shallow height of the undulating ridges of the 5v and corrugated profiles and the use of exposed metal fasteners to screw the metal to the roof deck they are limited to a slope that will shed rain quickly. Smartvent can be modified to provide intake ventilation for new roofs or re roofs through the fascia board for low slope roof with less than a 4 12 pitch.

The top of the roof meets the wall of the house and the 2 sides also meet walls. Click here to see fasciavent.
