About Us
Able Sheet Metal is a California-based manufacturer of commercial and residential construction metal products, serving contractors, builders, and distributors throughout California and the Western United States since 1946. Our product line includes fire-rated vents, ember-resistant ventilation, WUI compliant vents, access doors, HVAC ducting accessories, louvers, metal shingles, and custom fabricated sheet metal components. All products meet California building codes, including CBC Chapter 7A requirements for Wildland-Urban Interface fire hazard zones.
In wildfire-prone areas, flames often don’t destroy homes: embers do. Wind-driven embers travel miles ahead of a fire, and enter homes through vents, compromising attics, crawl spaces, roof structures, and even walls. All homes in fire-hazard areas require certified ember-protecting ventilation products, such as gable louvers, attic access doors, soffit, eave, and foundation vents, among others.
WUI TESTED MULTI-GUARD VENTILATION (MGV) PRODUCTS
The National Interagency Coordination Center reports that the 2020 wildfire season resulted in over 10 million acres of land being burned in the United States, causing tragic human loss and substantial property damage. A significant portion of the damage and loss of life occurred in what is known as the Wildland-Urban Interface. These are areas where residential, commercial, and other human developments meet or intermingle with wildland vegetation, such as forests, grasslands, or other natural areas. As more people build homes in WUI areas, the risk of wildfires reaching and damaging these properties increases. One meaningful way to protect houses from wildfire destruction is by installing WUI vents.
