Robert Jones Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I have been seeing those alot around here with D.R. Horton newly built homes. Seems to be working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Haven't seen those specifically, but we developed some similar products to solve knotty venting issues. They work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 WTH is a knotty venting issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 "Knotty" as in strange, uncommon, challenging, or otherwise something nonstandard. We've figured out how to vent hips and valleys in complex rooflines, cavity wall in solid load bearing masonry, etc., etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Damn it. My English skills were a bit off. Thanks for the explanation Kurt. Here i thought I was missing a technical venting issue;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I understand the reasoning behind those vents is this. Where houses are squeezed onto narrow lots, fire is less likely to jump from house to house with the soffits closed off and the vents installed like that on the roof. So it is a good thing. Hey, your skylights are cock-eyed. Must be a local preference. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a way to vent that sort of overhang; one doesn't have to be concerned with blocked soffit vents or any of that stuff.

Denray Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yep, that's what was happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I attended a seminar a couple of years ago that showed this type of vent (never seen them installed). I include a link to Airvent.com whenever I find lack of attic venting (about 90% of the inspections. http://www.airvent.com/homeowner/produc ... edge.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
