Inadequate ventilation of the roof can have costly negative results. The amount of moisture trapped in the roof structure reduces the efficiency of the insulating materials. At the same time, it provides good conditions for the formation and growth of mold and increases the risk of insect attacks, which could cause severe damage to the wooden parts of the roof.

There are various methods roofers use to ensure optimal roof ventilation. Specialists typically recommend and a ridge vent for exhaust and soffit vents for intake, but what about those roofs with no overhang that cannot have soffit vents?

An industry leader has recently developed an edge-of-roof installed intake vent, known as The Edge™ Vent. This technology is used to supplement soffit vents that exist already in roofs with little or no overhang.

The big advantage is that the roof edge vent not only provides permanent intake airflow, but also simplifies vent installation, by putting the Highlands Ranch roofing specialist in full control of the attic ventilation system, without depending anymore on the siding installer or the framer.

A roof edge vent also provide weather protection and allows for increased airflow due to the radius design.
