Roof Vent

A roof vent is any device installed on a roof to allow air to escape from the attic space. Roof vents come in various forms, including static vents, turbine vents, and powered vents. They play a key role in maintaining airflow balance and preventing moisture buildup. In Vancouver’s wet climate, roof vents are essential for protecting roofing materials from condensation damage and extending roof lifespan.
