[0002] It is useful, and in many locales a building code requirement, that the attic area of a building be provided with a means to permit air exchange. Such ventilation prevents undue heat buildup, which can render the living quarters of the building uncomfortable and impose unreasonable energy requirements for cooling. Proper ventilation of the attic area also tends to preserve the structural integrity of the roof and roof coverings. One method of venting the roof structure consists of applying a venting media over a slot present along the ridge of a roof. These types of vents are known as ridge vents. Ridge vents are generally secured to a roof surface via a nail gun.

[0003] Louvers are usually provided on the ridge vents to facilitate the passage of air through the ridge vent. Louver openings on ridge vent pr...
