Tips on Wooden Attic, Gable and Exterior Wall Vents:
Typically on the Exterior Walls, we use the Louvered Style for better water and weather shed. Sometimes on Soffits we may also use the Grate Style.
For Exterior Woods we prefer Western Red Cedar, White Cedar, Cypress, IPE, Mahogany, Redwood, Sapele, Teak (Brazilian or Indonesian), as they hold up to weather. Treated woods have been also used.
The Cedar or Cypress woods are best for Painting.
Vents for Roofs with Gables, Hips and High Pitches
Gable or sloped roofs can require a specific type of vent especially when replacing an old one. Triangular gable vents are typically found at the upper part of the wall found between the sloping ends of a roof line. We have made these up to 28 feet long. An exterior vent such as a Gable or Soffit vent permit the proper air flow to cool, disperse moisture, release built up heat or just to add beauty to your home or commercial property. We have made them to cover or create air flow for ambient or forced air such as in attic fans.
In odd shapes such as the Triangular Shape, you can give us the dimension of each side and sometimes the pitch. The upright and base size are most specifically the measurements we use.
Round, Oval and Polygon Vent Designs
Exterior Vents can be made in a myriad of shapes and sizes, made for a specific type of roof angle/pitch, or even a custom look to match a design, but the most important aspect is the proper venting, preventing weather or other intrusions. We have companies want Fan Shaped, Arched, or even Boat Life Preserver shaped Exterior Vents. Some shapes include Triangular, Rectangular, Octagonal, Round or Oval shapes.
Custom Vent Designs
If you want your favorite College, Boat, Boat Anchor, Logo or even an alien space ship with back lit LED lights we can do it! Now that would look cool! Here we want to use wood which resists weather and insects. Even if you paint untreated pine or oak wood, weather or insects will find a flaw in the paint and exploit it. That is why we want to use these weather and insect resistant woods.
Vent Netting Choices for Attic Vents
You can also specify the netting behind the vent and drip flashing on top. Typically we like a Nylon Netting in front of a 1/4″ open galvanized screen to keep out both mosquito sized insects as well as strong enough to keep out bats, squirrels and other critters. You can also specify Gauge, Size of Openings in the Screen, as well as the Metal such as Stainless Steel, Copper, Bronze, Brass. We never use rustable fasteners in our exterior vents unless you specify.
Exterior Deck, Shower Grates, & More
For Exterior Woods we prefer Western Red Cedar, White Cedar, Cypress, Mahogany, Sapele, IPE, Teak (Brazilian or Indonesian), as they hold up well in the weather. Treated woods have also been used.
CEDAR and CYPRESS woods are BEST for EXTERIOR wood choices needing Painting or Staining.
