EMBER BLOCKING VENT SCREEN AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION
An ember-blocking vent screen for covering a roof vent comprises a screen section and at least two strips of pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) heavy duty tape attached at opposite edges of the screen section such that deployment portions of the tape strips overlap and extend transversely beyond their respective screen edges. The screen section is made of stainless steel or aluminum wire, has interstices sufficiently small to block passage of small minimum diameter embers therethrough, is lightweight, and is sufficiently malleable to be capable of conforming to the contour of the vent being covered. The deployment portion of the tape strips is such that deployment portions of the tape extend transversely (i.e., widthwise) beyond respective screen edges covered with a release liner that is removable for installation of the screen
