Roof Saver™ Ridge Vent Receives Extension of Miami-Dade Approvals through 2021

Roof Saver meets all national building codes, including the stringent requirements for installation in High Velocity Hurricane Zones for Miami-Dade County.

Blocksom & Co. is pleased to report that Miami-Dade County NOA # 16-0607.09 for Roof Saver Ridge Vent has been extended into the year 2021. This extension continues the emphasis on quality, third-party independent testing and verification of stringent requirements for installation of Roof Saver ridge vent in High Velocity Hurricane Zones. A copy of the report can be viewed here.

In addition to meeting the strict code requirements in Miami-Dade County, the Roof Saver Ridge Vent meets all building codes throughout the country. An added benefit is that the product is environmentally friendly, being composed of natural fibers, including coconut husk fiber, also known as coir fiber. The fibers are blended and bound together with a premium adhesive to form a non-woven textile. The vent is a flexible mat that conforms easily to any roof slope and can be conveniently cut to the appropriate length required.

Building owners and homeowners appreciate the use of environmentally conscious products over those manufactured from petrochemicals as most other ridge vents are made using corrugated plastic, synthetic polyester, nylon or injection-molded plastic.

Using Roof Saver Ridge Vent is healthier for the inside of the structure as well. Without proper ventilation, excess heat and condensation moisture can build up in the attic and enable the growth of mold and mildew, cause higher cooling costs and shorten the life span of the roofing system.

Energy costs decrease in homes that utilize air-conditioning since there is cooler air flowing in to replace super-heated air in a properly ventilated attic. While developing Roof Saver, Blocksom & Co.’s research department found that a system consisting of continuous ridge vents combined with soffit vents provides thorough ventilation of the attic, including air spaces that often hold stagnant air when other types of ventilation are used.

Continuous ridge vents combined with soffit ventilation allow outside air to flow into the entire attic and displace super-heated and moist air. Air is always able to exit the attic and exhaust contaminants from the home.
