A ridge vent is a continuous ventilation system installed along the peak of a roof ridge. It allows warm, humid air to escape from the attic while drawing cooler air in through lower intake vents. Ridge vents are highly effective because they provide uniform airflow along the entire roof line. In Vancouver’s damp climate, ridge vents help reduce condensation buildup and prevent moisture-related damage to roof decking and insulation. They are discreet in appearance and blend seamlessly with roofing materials, making them a popular choice in modern residential roofing systems.
