Revolution installation in South Bend, Ind.

Contractor Rick Scott, the owner of Scott & Son Construction, recently installed Cor-A-Vent's new product Revolution Rolled Ridge Vent on the ridge of a house he remodeled in South Bend, Ind. According to Rick, the product went down smooth and easy and, as you can see in the pictures below, makes for a crisp, clean, well-defined ridge line. Thanks to Rick for sharing his pictures of a job well done!

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Yellowhammer LLC, Purlin Vent project

Rami Deeb, the owner of Yellowhammer, LLC construction, recently shared pictures of a renovation and addition project in Tallahassee, Fla. that utilized the Purlin Vent system for providing continuous airflow beneath a standing seam metal roof.

According to Mr. Deeb: "The purlin vent has been used to vent the air space between the reflective peal and seal underlayment and the energy star galvalume standing seam metal roof. 

"Additionally, the architect specified the purlin vent to be installed on the fascia board (over roof cemented galvanized eaves metal) and to cut the purlins at the top on a 45 degree angle (facing the roof) and then install the purlins 16" on center over the roof decking.  We are also installing a color matched vented piece of metal, bent at a 1" 90 degree angle to cover the purlin vents so that you can not see them from the ground.  After that, we are installing the color matched eaves metal to cover the rest of the purlin vent on the fascia and then we finish the roof installation venting all the ridges and hips so that the the air may circlulate into the fascia and then vent upwards and on out from there."

The final result looks great:

Purlin Vent is installed on the eaves and rake edges to allow airflow through the roof system.

Prepping for metal soffit installation. Purlin Vent provides 10 sq. in. of NFVA per lineal foot for intake & exhaust.

Purlin Vent was installed 16" on center over the entire roof. In the background stands a windmill.

The vent was installed over reflective underlayment to help reduce the buildup of hot air under the metal. 

 

Solar panels on top of the roof collect the sun's energy and add to the home's overall energy efficiency.

Michigan Flywheelers Museum, SV-5 project

Volunteers helped with a recent renovation project at the Michigan Flywheerlers Museum in South Haven, Mich. and Cor-A-Vent's SV-5 Siding Vent was used to provide a rasinscreen behind the new wood siding that was installed. Check out the Museum's website here for more information. Below are a couple photos of the installation. For more info on Cor-A-Vent's Siding Vent products, check out the Siding Vent page here. 

SV-5 Siding Vent is installed with 3/4" thick furring strips behind clapboard siding to provide a rainscreen system that will drain away moisture and vent between the exterior cladding and the house wrap.

SV-5 is installed above and below the windows. (Click link for an end view detail.)  Moisture buildup behind wood and fiber cement siding can shorten the life of your home's exterior.
