Off-Wall Shed Roof Ventilation
When re-roofing your shed roof, you should make sure you have the proper ventilation to maximize the life of the roof. The easiest way to accomplish this is by using SmartVent as an off-wall shed exhaust.Ventilating the shed roof without removing the existing flashing and siding off of the shed wall means one less hassle and one less chance of having the expense to replace the wall siding and losing the bid. |
What is SmartVent?
SmartVent is a tapered, under shingle plastic product designed for installation
along the soffit edge of the roof or the facing edge of dormer rakes and goes virtually unnoticed. It allows air to
flow freely through the 1" roof decking slit providing more than adequate soffit ventilation to maximize ridge
vent effectiveness. This is extremely important since most ridge vent products require an equal amount of ventilation at the soffit in
order to work properly. SmartVent, when used at both soffits, has a total NFA rating of 18 sq. in. (or 9 sq. in. on each side of a standard gable roof).

Most houses with ridge vents do not have the proper soffit ventilation required because attic insulation blocks the
soffit vents. SmartVent allows cooler air to enter under the shingle, through the 1" roof slit and out the ridge
vent providing superior air flow and attic cooling.
