Custom Pelican Hoods
Description
Our pelican hood (also known as a bird hood or a vent hood) is designed to protect vent pipes and other roof protrusions from rain, snow, and debris while still allowing air to flow through the vent.
Pelican hoods are important for maintaining the functionality of a roofing system and preventing water damage to the building. Without a hood, water could leak into the roof around the vent pipe or protrusion, potentially causing damage to the building’s interior or structure. Hoods also help to prevent birds and other animals from nesting in the vent, which could also cause damage to the building or create a fire hazard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Custom Pelican Hoods be used for intake as well as exhaust?
Pelican Hoods can protect intake or exhaust openings, but the hood geometry and opening must be sized for the specified airflow direction and capacity.
Will you fabricate Custom Pelican Hoods to a drawing?
Yes. Custom Pelican Hoods are fabricated to order. Send the dimensions of the opening or run, the material and finish you want, and the quantity, with a drawing or sketch if the shape is not standard.
What keeps rain and snow out of a roof vent opening?
Pelican Hoods protect roof vent openings from rain, snow, and debris while maintaining the required airflow path.
