Product Description
The Lamb & Ritchie's newly redesigned Vented Drip Edge will provide a balanced flow of air from soffit to ridge, thereby equalizing temperatures and reducing heat and condensation in the attic. The system also protects the roof line as a starter strip. It is easy to install, saving time and labor by not having to install two separate systems. With twenty-two larger vents every six inches, Lamb & Ritchie Vented Drip Edge conforms to standard building codes, allowing 9.2 square inches of net free air per linear foot. This is important if using ridge vents in conjunction with the Vented Drip Edge. Less than 9.0 square inches of free air will result in downdrafts instead of proper air flow. The Vented Drip Edge is constructed of .025 aluminum with a two-inch girth. Strong enough to support a ladder, it will give your roof line years of protection. It features a unique baffle or counterflashing which prevents the flow of snow and water from reaching the inner walls of the house. For proper air flow, a one-inch opening under the sheathing should be allowed.
