R-Vent®

R-Vent® is a 40% recycled ventilation mat used in cedar, metal, & tile roof construction. The 90% open mesh creates an airspace/cavity that is perfect for promoting air flow in all directions between the metal panels and sheathing.

In sensitive cedar roofs, proper ventilation is vital. A high-performing ventilation mat product from Advanced Building Products, R-Vent is maximized to promote longevity in any cedar roof. R-Vent ventilation mats feature a 90% open mesh that creates a cavity that is perfect for promoting air flow in all directions between the metal panels and sheathing, allowing your roof to breathe. This increases your cedar roof's durability and longevity while reducing sound transmission and contributing to LEED points.
