Abrégé

A roof ridge vent comprises a body including inner and outer surfaces, first and second ends, and first and second sides. First and second edge portions disposed at or about the first and second sides, respectively, include vent openings for the passage of air and baffles for shielding the vent openings. A central portion is disposed between the first edge portion and the second edge portion. The central portion has a first height, and the body tapers as it extends laterally outward from the central portion to the first edge portion and second edge portion such that the first and second edge portions have a reduced height.

A roof vent includes a continuous elongate mat composed of a mesh of randomly oriented fibers. The mat has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a first longitudinally extending side surface. A portion of the mat proximate to and forming the first longitudinally extending side surface is configured as a wind baffle. The wind baffle includes a wind deflector lip, formed from the mesh, which extends above the top surface of the mat.

An insulated cover for a whole-house fan includes a base defining an opening for disposal over the whole-house fan, and first and second, oppositely disposed, ceiling doors each hingedly connected to the base. In a closed configuration the ceiling doors each sit at an acute angle with respect to a horizontal plane corresponding with a bottom surface of the base. The base and ceiling doors are formed from thermal insulation board.

A vent for a roof includes a body having an inner surface facing the roof, an outer surface, first and second opposing ends and first and second opposing sides. First and second edge portions are disposed at or about the first and second sides, respectively, and include a plurality of openings for the passage of air. A plurality of protrusions extend outwardly from the inner surface of the body. A plurality of elongated resilient members extend longitudinally between the first and second ends of the body and cooperate with the protrusions. At least a portion of each of the elongated resilient members extends beyond a bottom edge of the vent and is compressed against the exterior surface of the roof, in order to substantially fill in and seal spaces between the exterior surface of the roof and the at least one vent.

An off-peak intake vent includes spaced top and bottom walls defining a cavity therebetween and a pair of lateral side walls. The bottom wall has a generally planar bottom surface having at least one vent opening formed therethrough for communicating with an opening in a roof deck. The top wall has a curved portion that converges with the bottom wall at an uphill edge of the intake vent. The intake vent also includes air intake louvers defined between the top and bottom walls.
