Hello:
Will be having a roofing job, and the roofer suggested a "ridge roof vent" be added by him when he does the new shingle installation.
Did a Google search on these things, but a bit confused how they work.
a. what keeps the rain out if the rain is driven horizontally by a strong wind, which sometimes does happen ? Wouldn't any "horiz" or near horiz. rain get right into the attic ?
b. Didn't see any mention of screens for these things. What keeps the bugs and flies out ?
c. BTW: do they come in different materials ? If so, what would I want ?
All in all, a good idea in your opinions ?
(what's a typical or reasonable cost for a typical 40' or so length roof line for the item and installation ?)
Thanks, Bob
