A roof vent is a device installed on the roof of a building to provide ventilation for the space below. It is typically a metal or plastic cover that sits over an opening in the roof, allowing air to flow in and out of the attic or other enclosed space.
Roof vents are used in building design to improve air circulation, prevent moisture buildup, and regulate temperature. By allowing air to flow in and out of the attic or other enclosed space, roof vents reduce the risk of damage to the roof and structure. They also help to improve energy efficiency by reducing the need for air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter.
There are several types of roof vents, including ridge vents, gable vents, turbine vents, and soffit vents. The type and number of vents needed will depend on the size and design of the building, as well as the climate and weather conditions in the area.
