Ventilated roofing system

A ventilated roofing system for use with a roof structure, said system comprising:

• a first sheathing layer comprising a first plurality of adjacently abutting planar panels each having a length, a width, and a thickness affixed atop a plurality of rafters of a roof structure extending from a ridge portion to an eave portion for providing a first fastening base to a second sheathing layer;
• said second sheathing layer comprising a second plurality of adjacently abutting planar panels having a length, a width, and a thickness disposed above said first sheathing layer in a parallel orientation extending from said ridge portion to said eave portion for providing a second fastening base to a plurality of exterior roofing materials;
• a ridge sheathing layer comprising a plurality of an inverted V-shaped panels having a length, a width, a thickness, and an apex angle substantially equivalent to an angle of said ridge portion of said roof structure disposed above said second sheathing layer in a parallel orientation and extending a length of said ridge portion of said roof structure for providing a third fastening base to said plurality of exterior roofing materials;
• a first plurality of vented channels affixed between a top surface of said first sheathing layer and a bottom surface of said second sheathing layer forming a first gap;
• a second plurality of vented channels affixed between a top surface of said second sheathing layer and a bottom surface of said ridge sheathing forming a second gap;
• and,
• a plurality of vented drip edges capable of attachment to lower edge portions of said second sheathing layer or said ridge sheathing layer for facilitating proper water drainage;
• wherein said first plurality of vented channels and said second plurality of vented channels each comprise:
• a planar top panel;
• a pair of angled side panels extending downwardly from said top panel, each of said side panels having a plurality of rectangular vent openings;
• and,
• a horizontal fastening flange extending longitudinally along a bottom edge portion of each of said pair of side panels, said fastening flange further comprising a plurality of equally spaced fastener apertures capable of attachment to said top surface of said first sheathing layer or a top surface of said second sheathing layer;
• wherein said plurality of vented drip edges each comprise:
• a substantially planar top portion capable of laying flat against a top surface of a lower edge portion of said second sheathing layer or a top surface of a lower edge portion of said ridge sheathing layer;
• a substantially planar wall portion extending downwardly from said top portion, said wall portion having a plurality of louvered ventilation slots;
• and,
• an outwardly deflected drip edge longitudinally extending along a bottom edge portion of said wall portion;
• wherein a first plurality of vented drip edges cover said first gap formed between a lower edge portion of said first sheathing layer and a lower edge portion of said second sheathing layer;
• wherein a second plurality of vented drip edges cover said second gap formed between a lower edge portion of said ridge sheathing layer and a lower edge portion of said second sheathing layer;
• and,
• wherein said system provides a flow of air between said eave portion and said ridge portion of said roof structure.
