Openings shaped from the structure of the vent, eliminate any need for long-term maintenance and prevent the intrusion of birds or rodents inward. This vent gives the advantage of a cooler attic in the summer months and drier during the winter. It thus extends the integrity of the structure. It promotes a higher aspiration and, with the help of the wind, produces a chimney effect. The air from the attic is continuously exchanged at a frequency of 100 cfm, ventilating up to an area of 500 sq.ft.
