Our premier custom-cut vent strip includes polyester vent material inserts for a snug fit and optimum ventilation at a cost lower than traditional fans and louvers. Made with recycled materials, it features a 40-year limited warranty and our proprietary adhesive for a superior hold. Our patented LP2 offers superior Net Free ventilation that reduces condensation and helps lower utility costs.
Our patented LP2 Ridge Vent is made from non-fabric-covered vent material. This durable, modified polyester is a nonwoven, non-wicking, fiber-based matting. Its specially cut contours provide a custom, low-profile fit for any pitch and most major metal roof profiles. LP2 provides a superior Net Free ventilation area that helps keep out moisture, pests, and dust. Plus, LP2 can be installed by just one person in three easy steps. In fact, the screw bed and industrial strength peel-and-stick adhesive pre-applied to LP2 make this one of the easiest installations imaginable.

LP2 comes 75 feet to a box, in 25 three-foot sections. With LP2’s double bead of industrial strength adhesive, one person can simply remove the peel-and-stick strips to apply LP2 to the metal roof, then secure the ridge cap over the LP2 with fasteners or nails. It’s that easy!
