Abstract

A roof venting system for removing warm and moist air from the interior of a building to the outside through a vent opening in the roof. The system includes a vent, cover member for placement over the vent opening and two foam members through which the indoor warm and moist air must pass when the air flows from the building interior to the outside. The foam members may be provided with a convoluted surface to facilitate close engagement to the roof profile, and a single piece foam may be used instead of the usual two. The foam and cover members may be flexible, reticulated polyurethane treated with one or more substances to enhance fire resistance and protect from heat / cold adverse weather.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to metal roof systems and shingle roof systems that are used in both commercial and residential buildings and, more particularly, to vent coverings which allow for airflow and prevent foreign contaminants such as insects, birds, small animals and excess water from entering a roofing system by forming a partial seal.

[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] The life span of any roof will be increased if adequate ventilation is provided along the top vent of the roof. Ventilation is needed to allow air to flow through and out of the roof interior and out of the vent which is located along the top of the roof where the two slopes of the roof nearly meet. Having adequate airflow that uses roof ventilation is a proven construction technique that is used in both new construction and remodeling existing structures. Ventilation of the roof has been historically accomplished through the use...
