ridge vent: "I have a red pro panel roof that was installed ..." - Guest User (9/22/2004) | Ventilation | Archive

I have a red pro panel roof that was installed in 1982. I want to put a ridge vent on it and I can't find one that will fit because i am told it is the old style of pro panel and they don't make one any more.The house just has a ridge cap on it at this time and no vent except what escapes through the ridge cap Any suggestions?

Have you tried contacting experienced installers and even manufacturers of through-fastened metal roofing materials? That is a bit outside my expertise but surely someone can help you!	Guest User 9/23/2004	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/4072/find/
I have contacted the local distributer, who contacted his distributer who said they don't make something that fits now. I don't want to change the whole roof to get a ridge vent, it seem someone has a retro fit. I can't find it though.

Check out www.profilevent.com and see if they have a profiled strip to match your roof. If they do, then it may be a matter of getting their strip and having someone local bend a ridge cap to go over it. I cannot stress enough the importance of having an experienced metal roofing contractor involved to help.
