Design allows flexibility for contractor to install product during framing phase, before applying roof sheathing; or from the inside as part of the standard insulation phase. Clip-Vent provides a superior, insulated vent channel that helps eliminate ice dams, air infiltration and keeps roofs cool.
Renovation/Retro-Fit:
Design allows the contractor to custom fit product in the field to any situation, providing a superior vent space. Perfect for blown-in insulation jobs as vent space integrity is not compromised, unlike standard vent chutes that become choked off. Clip-Vent is designed to compensate for irregularities in rafter bay spacing The foam support legs allow up to one inch of variation in rafter spacing, making it easy to install.
