Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Glider Vent used for intake or exhaust air?
The Glider Vent can provide both passive intake and exhaust in a balanced attic ventilation system, depending on where it is installed on the roof.
What is the difference between Glider Vent and Glider-M Vents?
The Glider Vent is our standard model, with a standard NFA of 69 square inches. The Glider-M Vent has a smaller design to fit between the seams of metal roofing panels, but requires additional units to make up for the loss in NFA.
Which of the metals offered for Glider Vent should I choose?
The most common and recommended option is a model with a prepainted hood and front flange that match the roof color (available colors include brown, charcoal, gray, and white). Alternative metals include galvanized steel (standard option), bonderized steel (for custom painting), and copper (for coastal areas or a desired patina look).
How does a Glider Vent ventilate the attic without standing proud of the roof?
Glider Vents provide attic ventilation through a low-profile, weather-protected roof vent assembly.
What are the material options for Glider Vent?
Glider Vent is made from galvanized steel, Zincalume (Galvalume), copper, aluminum or bonderized steel.
Which mesh options are available for Glider Vent?
Available mesh configurations include 1/8 and 1/16. Mesh selection affects the product configuration and ventilation performance.
What net free area is documented for Glider Vent?
Net free area is 69 sq. in. NFA and 45 sq. in. NFA, depending on the mesh and configuration chosen.
Which roof applications can use Glider Vent?
Glider Vent is designed for composition shingle, flat tile, shake, slate roof applications.
Is weather-exposure testing documented for Glider Vent?
Yes. Glider Vent has rain and wind resistance testing.
