Benjamin Obdyke created the first ridge vent on a roll in 1987
and revolutionized roofing ventilation.
The Roll VentŪ family of ridge vent products offers the most
innovative, effective way to easily protect residential roofing from the
deteriorating forces of excess heat and moisture build-up. Roll Vent quickly
rolls onto the roof over a cut slot, providing continuous airflow along the
ridge - the hottest part of the attic. Benjamin Obdyke's patented design
provides complete protection from rain, snow, and insect infiltration,
preserving the attractiveness of the roof while prolonging its life.
Today's Roll Vent features a new innovative design based on
the proven original concept that has stood the test of time. Now with an
improved geometric structure that increases compression resistance, Roll Vent is
available in three application specific versions: Roll Vent Standard, Roll Vent
Cedar, and Roll Vent Metric.
