We are installing an under roof ventilation system with a standing seam metal roof on an older farmhouse in Culpeper VA from the early 1900s.

I recorded a video on-site that I have put a link to below.  I show in the video the under roof ventilation system before the metal roof has been installed, and how we are able to allow the air to flow through the drip edge that we custom make on the job site.  The ventilation panels are about the size of a sheet of plywood and go down on top of a radiant barrier that we install first over the roof deck or skip sheathing.  The Ventilation panels are called Therma-Vent.  These panels allow for the roof to vent air through channels that run vertically up the panels and then the air escapes through a vented ridge cap.

Please take a look at our video and below and contact us for more information about metal roofing and our under roof ventilation system.

Here is the video that we recorded in Culpeper Virginia about the on-site job where we are installing the roof ventilation system with a metal roof.

What are thermal breaks? They are any form of solid insulation that doesn’t allow cold or hot to transfer to an adjacent surface. To demonstrate how this works I took a Styrofoam cup and filled it with boiling water. Then I took a temperature reading of the water with a laser thermometer. The temp of the water was 185 f. The temp of the Styrofoam cup was 94 f. I slid a card board sleeve on the cup and due to air ventilation under the sleeve the temp was around 72 f.

When we install our Therma vent insulation system this same principal is at work. On one test we did the temp on the roof was 165 f and the temp in the attic was 150 f. After installing the thermal breaks the temp in the attic was reduced to 103f. We thought that was amazing.

This is a video describing our custom ventilation system and its built in thermal break:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX_l3e1qPMw

Metal Roofing VA – Warrenton

Metal Roofing Warrenton VA we have made a description of our metal roofing patented energy saving ventilation system, we want to talk about Warrenton VA and the metal roofs we are installing in that area.  We have been working on a new patented roof ventilation system that can save a lot on energy saving by basic air movement.  The test example that we did was on a house that had little or no ventilation, no ridge vents, and no soft vents.  We installed our ventilation system and had amazing results. Check out the video below to see what we did!

To vent the roof below the Widow’s Walk we installed a vented J channel. As you can see from the photo there is a plastic mesh between the roof deck and the j channel to allow for the hot air in the attic to escape. We then slide the standing seam roofing panels into the j channel and we trim out the connection between the j channel and the Widow’s Walk with a counter flashing.
