Rooftop Intake Vent helps protect your roof system from premature deterioration by allowing cool, fresh air into your attic, driving warm, moist air out of the ridge vent (or other exhaust vents)
A critical component of an effective attic ventilation system
■ Helps guard against roof system rot, ice damming, and mold/mildew growth
■ Promotes your home’s energy efficiency
Balanced Ventilation:
Balanced attic ventilation means there’s an equal amount of air entering it as there is exiting it. The amount of exhaust ventilation must never exceed the amount of intake ventilation at the soffits or eaves.
Benefits:
An effective solution for adding intake ventilation to homes with no soffits, clogged intake vents, or vented roof decks
■ Eliminates the need for expensive, time-consuming alterations at the soffits
■ Tapered shingle-over design blends seamlessly with the look of your roof
■ Crush-resistant design helps guard against wind-driven rain, snow, and ice dam infiltration
■ Convenient installation with fully nail-gunnable roll design
■ Can improve attic ventilation air‑flow by up to 20% when used with existing soft/under eave vents in a properly balanced system2
■ Eligible for up to a Lifetime limited warranty. It’s also an eligible component for GAF residential enhanced warranties.
Pre-cut eave/rake starter strips are one of the most overlooked parts of a roofing system!
Helps prevent shingle blow-off and eliminate waste with an eave/rake starter strip
That’s because it’s easy for a contractor to use a cut-up shingle as the “starter” course on your roof. Unfortunately, cut-up shingles may not have properly-positioned adhesive to ensure adequate wind resistance.
Using a pre-cut eave/rake starter strip will:
- Provide a cost-effective alternative to using cut-up shingles as your starter course
- Include a high-quality, properly-positioned adhesive that will tightly lock your shingles in place to help prevent blow-off
- Be easy to use and install, with no cutting on the roof
Pro-Start™ eave/rake starter strip is a key part of the GAF Smart Choice ® Roof System Solution.
A distinctive ridge cap shingle will:
- Accentuate the natural beauty of your newly installed architectural shingle roof (or even add dimension and depth to a strip shingle roof)
- Insure reliable protection at the highest-stress areas of your roof (the hips and ridges)
- Provide a striking and higher quality alternative to using
cut-up strip shingles as your ridge cap
