Benefits of using “SS Vents” by DCI Products:

  • Prevents entry of rain, snow & sleet with Industrial Weather Guard Protection

  • Pre-cut for perfect fit between ribs or 3 foot lengths for on the Job Site Cutting

  • Virtually invisible to the Eye and crush resistant, yet easy to cut and install

  • Guards against insects, rodents & debris with Lifetime Durability

Standing Seam Ventilation Products are available for intake or exhaust on metal roofs using various products and installation methods with some shown below. Other methods are available upon learning the details of your particular construction project.

Standing Seam vents are protected with an ICC approved breathable weather-guard durable fabric that protects against wind driven rain, blowing snow, small particulates and insects.

Standing Seam vents have life of the roof durability. Similar to most vent products on the roof, the metal capping over the Standing Seam vents must extend about 1/2? to 3/4? past the outer fabric lifted edge to create a shadow line to enhance the look of the completed metal roof.

Standing Seam vents provide the perfect intake and exhaust for metal, standing seam roofs.

The Standing Seam Vent (SS-Vent) is available for any thickness, width, length and rib angle for your particular roof panels. But some common sizes are stocked at DCI such as the 2 3/8”W X 1”H vent that comes in 12” and 16” lengths with rib angles precut. Each Standing Seam Vent (SS-Vent) can be pre-mitered at our factory for easy fit between each standing seam on the metal roof or supplied to you at 37” lengths for on site cutting.

It’s easy to cut the length and angle using a standard electric miter saw. Simply let us know the preferred thickness and we will supply the 37” X 2 3/8” stick pieces for you to cut to length on the job. Or you tell us any size you require and we will make the vents to your specs.

The DCI Standing Seam vent can be used at the Ridge, Shed Roof or at the Roof-to-Wall locations as exhaust for standing seam roof panels. Looking for strong, durable, contractor friendly products? Well you are at the right place! All DCI products are built tough with the contractor in mind.
