hidden ridge vent installation that improves roof airflow and helps prevent heat and moisture buildup #roofing #construction #homeimprovement #ventilation #roofrepair

Why don't more Roofers install Ridge vents like this in the United States? This Roofer is installing a ventilation system right at the peak of the roof, and it plays a huge role in preventing moisture buildup and keeping the attic cooler. First, he lines up long sections of black plastic Ridge vent along the roof peak. Each section snaps together using interlocking ends, creating one continuous ventilation channel. Then he drives long roofing nails through the pre-marked holes securing the vent directly into the roof deck below. After that, he trims the final section with a utility knife so it fits perfectly at the roof edge. The narrow openings along the sides allow hot air to escape while blocking rain insects and debris from getting inside. Next, he installs Ridge cap shingles directly over the vent system. Each shingle overlaps the nails from the previous one, which is essential for waterproofing. In the end, the entire vent becomes completely hidden, while fresh airflow continues moving through the roof.
