Ring's End Lumber
Ventilation

Along with insulation, ventilation is essential for the proper thermal performance of a building. Ring’s End carries a wide variety of venting products manufactured for specific parts of a building -- such as the roof, the attic, or the foundation -- in a range of styles and materials. Ring’s End also can special order venting products for your specific project or application.

Aluminum Roof Vents

Ring’s End stocks Lomanco #750 aluminum roof vents. These exhaust vents are installed directly on the roof to help vent hot attic air out of the building. They require proper intake ventilation to work properly.

Attic Vents

Ring’s End stocks the Lomanco’s Add-A-Vent, a product that attaches to the inside of a louvered gable vent and adds the assistance of an electric fan to exhaust hot attic air. A thermostat turns the fan on automatically when the attic air temperature rises to a certain point, and shuts off when the air is cooled.

Foundation Vents

Foundations not only need air ventilation to keep them from getting moldy and musty, but many also need an escape path for water if the basement or crawlspace is flooded. Ring’s End carries flood vents especially made for this purpose. Visit their website for more information.

  • SmartVENT: For both flood protection and ventilation
  • FloodVENT: For flood protection only

Louvers

Ring’s End carries a variety of ventilating louvers. These products not only reduce heat and moisture in attics and garages, they add an attractive architectural detail to building exteriors. For customers who prefer polyurethane louvers because of their durability and low maintenance, Ring’s End carries polyurethane louvers from Fypon, Cellwood, Webb, and AWSCO. For customers who prefer the traditional look of red cedar, Ring’s End carries many in-stock sizes, ranging from 12” x 12” to 24” x 30”. Custom sizes and shapes of louver gable vent units are also available on special order.

Ridge & Soffit Vents

As roof venting is essential for successful roof performance, Ring’s End carries many different roof vent systems.

  • Ridge Vents: ShingleVent II and II-9 by Air Vent Inc. These vents go over the ridge and allow warm attic air to exit.
  • Rapid Ridge: For fiberglass roofing and for wood roofing
  • Soffit Vent: Aluminum by Alcoa
  • Plastic Strip Vent: by Cor-A-Vent

Styrofoam Rafter Vents

Most unheated attic spaces are vented from soffit to ridge. This system depends on a clear passage between the two. In most roof systems, there is not enough space at the rafter/wall intersection to allow for both the insulation and the air passage. Ring’s End sells U-shaped Styrofoam vents that install in the rafter bays to keep the air passage from being blocked by the insulation.
