Re: Vaulted ceiling ventilation

No. Cutting a traditional ridge vent in half will not work. However, AirVent (by Certainteed) makes a product that might just do the trick. It's called Flash FilterVent, which is designed to vent between a shed roof and an adjacent wall. Go to: http://www.certainteed.com/consumer/vent/html/v_pr008.htm for more information.

As an aside, there is some disagreement about the need to ventilate vaulted ceilings and there is conflicting research about how best to approach this. Our general feeling, however, is that air movement is a good thing and that exhausting stale air is important in the overall health of the home.

AirVent has a good document (in PDF format) about attic ventilation at: http://www.certainteed.com/pro/ventilation/pdf/PrinciplesAtticVent.pdf

You must have the Adobe Acrobat reader to view this document, which is available free at http://www.adobe.com
