Welcome to the Ridge Vent category at Build4Less, where we specialise in offering top-quality ridge ventilation solutions. Our range of products in this category is designed to cater to diverse roofing ventilation needs, ensuring your roofing system remains healthy and efficient. Let's explore the various types of ridge vents we offer and guide you in selecting the most suitable one for your specific requirements.

What is a Ridge Vent?

A ridge vent is a crucial component of a roof ventilation system, designed to allow warm, humid air to escape from your attic or roof space. It is installed along the peak (ridge) of a sloped roof and works in tandem with soffit or eaves vents to create a continuous airflow. By promoting proper ventilation, ridge vents help maintain a balanced roof environment and extend the lifespan of roofing materials.

• Durability: Made with high-quality materials, these kits are built to last, providing long-term ventilation solutions.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Available in Anthracite Grey and Brown, these kits not only serve a functional purpose but also enhance the visual appeal of your roofline.
• Effective Ventilation: These ridge vents are designed to optimise airflow, preventing moisture buildup and enhancing the overall health of your roofing structure.

Selecting the Right Kit

• Roof Compatibility: Consider the type of roof you have. These kits are versatile, but ensure they align with your specific roofing material and design.
• Colour Matching: Choose a colour that complements your roof tiles for a cohesive look. Anthracite Grey works well with darker tiles, while Brown is suited for traditional or lighter-coloured roofs.
• Length Requirements: Each kit covers 6 meters. Calculate the length of your ridge line to determine the number of kits required.

Benefits of Ridge Vents

• Improved airflow: Encourages natural air circulation, reducing condensation and moisture buildup.
• Prevents roof damage: Minimises the risk of mould, rot, and structural issues caused by trapped moisture.
• Energy efficiency: Reduces attic temperatures in summer, easing the load on your HVAC system.
• No moving parts: A passive system requiring little to no maintenance.
• Enhanced roof durability: Prolongs the life of roof insulation, tiles, and battens.

Applications of Ridge Ventilation

• Residential pitched roofs – Ideal for tiled or slated roofs with attic or loft spaces.
• Commercial buildings – Help regulate air and temperature in larger roof spaces.

Installation Tips

• Measure your ridge accurately – Ensure full coverage; most kits cover 6m sections.
