Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A method of making a ridge vent includes: disposing a first quantity of a polymeric material in a mold cavity; forming a first ridge vent section in the mold cavity, the first ridge vent section having a stepped end section formed across a width of the first ridge vent section at an end thereof; indexing the first ridge vent section so that it is substantially moved beyond the mold cavity but remains in contact at the stepped end section with the mold; disposing a second quantity of polymer between the mold sections; and forming a second ridge vent section which is connected to the first ridge vent section at the stepped end section. The stepped end section includes bottom tread and top tread sections, wherein the tread length of the bottom tread section has a non-uniform tread length across the width of the bottom tread section.
