Abstract: An off-ridge roof ventilation device for placing on an opening of a roof deck. The ventilation device comprises an elongated main hood with a curved shape. The right end of the main hood is closed by a right-side panel, and the left end of the main hood is closed by a left-side panel. The main hood comprises a perforated top face and a venting opening on a bottom face. A throat panel is placed on the bottom face of the main hood in a manner to reduce the venting opening. A perforated interior panel is placed between the top face of the main hood and the throat panel to eliminate wind driven rain and/or snow even in high wind situations. The perforations are preferably designed as mini-louvers, wherein the mini-louvers of the main hood and the mini-louvers of the throat panel comprise the same shape and count the same number.

Abstract: A roofing system in a building structure having a ridge vent includes strips of composite material having a base material adapted to form a hermetic seal with the top surface of a roofing section and recesses in a top surface in which an air permeable material can be positioned. A strip is applied to roof sections adjacent to each side of a ridge vent so that a ridge cap can overlay the strips in spaced relation from the underlying roof sections and be sealingly secured to the roof sections. The strip material establishes a barrier between the ridge cap and the roof sections through which air can pass, but through which the passage of rain and insects is inhibited.

Abstract: A sealing component is disclosed that is installed across an uneven surface without having dedicated segments for engaging raised and recessed portions of the uneven surface. The sealing component may include an elongated strip of compressible nonwoven material. The elongated strip may include an adhesive on one or two sides. In a pre-installation configuration, the strip may be wound into a coil.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a roofing ventilation system component and methods of installation of the same. In one embodiment, the component includes a fiber matting strip of air-permeable compressible nonwoven fibers and a thermoplastic polymer binding agent. The fibers may be polyester and nylon. The fiber matting may be installed in connection with a ridge vent, roof rafters and a fascia, or hip or ridge shingles.
