The Vent That ProtectsLike our entire product line, our gable vents are fire and ember resistant.
We recommend a combination of vertical and horizontal vents. On hotter days, lower horizontal vents will intake relatively cooler air when there is sufficient venting above the horizontal (soffit, eave, continuous) and exhausts hot air from the attic through vertical gable and dormer vents.
The Vulcan gable vent is available for new, or retro-fit applications. With intumescent coating that closes at high temperatures and ember catching mesh.
