Bill Kibbel Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 If it were for a window, it would be a "hooded dormer", sometimes "bonneted dormer" way up North. With a vent installed, I would call it a hooded vent dormer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks Bill. I wasn't far off. In the report I called it a dormer vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Here's a nice chimney crown shot from the same house. Look, they put a brand new cap on but ignored the failed crown. Click to Enlarge 47.69 KB Click to Enlarge 51.06 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 What is the purpose of those vents? I mean, why not use regular roof vents? Architectural? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 It' damned close to being scrap metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I've heard them called "eyebrow" vents. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 It's not the shape for an eyebrow vent. Just like eyebrow dormers, it'd be shaped like an eyebrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
