BUILDING RIDGE VENT SYSTEM
A ridge vent system is provided including a ridge vent having opposing exterior sidewalls that each define multiple fastener recesses that extend inward from the exterior sidewalls and downward from a top plate. The ridge vent can include ventilation elements within the exterior sidewalls and/or fastener recesses. The ridge vent can include an air permeable filter membrane that can be secured to bottom walls of the fastener recesses to impair environmental elements from entering a structure therethrough, yet still provide air flow out the vent. The ridge vent can be in sheet or roll form, depending on the application. The ridge vent can provide enhanced attic ventilation and/or airflow through the ridge vent, while still providing fastener recesses that facilitate rapid and efficient application of fasteners therethrough.
