What is SmartVent?
SmartVent is a tapered, under shingle plastic product designed for installation
along the soffit edge of the roof or the facing edge of dormer rakes and goes virtually unnoticed. It allows air to
flow freely through the 1" roof decking slit providing more than adequate soffit ventilation to maximize ridge
vent effectiveness. This is extremely important since most ridge vent products require an equal amount of ventilation at the soffit in
order to work properly. SmartVent, when used at both soffits, has a total NFA rating of 18 sq. in. (or 9 sq. in. on each side of a standard gable roof).
SmartVent is a patented roof and attic ventilation product that provides the best passive
attic ventilation available. Using a unique design and installation method, SmartVent eliminates the problems and inefficiencies
found in roof construction using ridge and soffit venting, namely inadequate vent openings in the soffit.
SmartVent attic ventilation is virtually invisible on the roof. Click on the images below to see how your house could look.
SmartVent is rated at 9 NFA. SmartVent also satisfies all ridge vent and exhaust vent requirements.Patent numbers 6,212,833 & 6,447,392 issued by the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
“We have been using SmartVent for years as a great solution for inadequate ventilation on our customer’s homes. Not only does the SmartVent perform great, it installs easier than any of the competitor’s products!”
Most houses with ridge vents do not have the proper soffit ventilation required because attic insulation blocks the
soffit vents. SmartVent allows cooler air to enter under the shingle, through the 1" roof slit and out the ridge
vent providing superior air flow and attic cooling.
