| 20090163134 | INTEGRATED TILE RIDGE VENT SYSTEM - An integrated tile ridge vent system which more efficiently vents hot air along a ridge of a tile roof includes a structural sheet material formed to provide two opposing sides having feet and vents alternating along the length of the two sides. The feet provide a contact area for fastening to a roof structure, while the vents provide an opening between each of the feet to vent hot air from a tile roof ridge. A screen may be provided to screen the vents, preventing intrusion of pests and debris through the vents. Installed along a roof ridge having a gap formed by decking or sheathing materials, the vents of vent system provide elongated slots under the tiles for releasing hot air from an attic, crawl space or living area, which rises due to thermo convection of the hot air, cooling a structure and reducing humidity by releasing warm, moist air from the structure. | 06-25-2009 |
