Overview
Our patented LP2™ Ridge Vent is made from non-fabric-covered Python vent material. This durable, modified polyester is a non-woven, 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 makes this one of the easiest installations imaginable.
