Abstract
A roof ventilation system and the method of its use and construction are disclosed. The roof ventilation system may include a base including a base flashing, a throat extending from the base flashing, and a baffle extending at an acute angle relative to the throat. The roof ventilation system may further include a hood coupled to the base to create a passageway for air between the hood and the base.
Claims21
A roof ventilation system comprising:
- a base comprising a base flashing, a throat extending from the base flashing, and a baffle extending from the throat at an acute angle relative to the throat, wherein the baffle comprises a first edge attached to the throat;
- a hood coupled to the base to create a passageway for air between the hood and the base, the hood comprising an inner surface spaced away from the baffle to define the passageway;
- and, wherein the first edge includes a living hinge attaching the baffle to the throat.
A roof ventilation system comprising:
- a base comprising a base flashing having an opening to a roof deck, a throat extending from the base flashing, and a baffle extending towards the base flashing at an acute angle relative to the throat;
- a hood coupled to the base to create a passageway for air between the hood and the base to the opening to vent air from a vented space to an outside environment, the hood comprising an inner surface spaced away from the baffle to define the passageway;
- and
- a filter to limit an infiltration of moisture or debris into the vented space through the opening,
- wherein the baffle is bent towards the base flashing and to the acute angle via a living hinge through the engagement of the hood to the base.
