Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Ridge intake products like the Smart Ridge II work best when paired with a properly sized exhaust vent to balance attic airflow. Lay out sections along the ridge before cutting so joints and end caps fall cleanly. Skip end caps at rake edges, as the manufacturer specifies, and follow DCI installation instructions for opening width and fastening.
Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and local building codes for attic ventilation, and use roof-worker fall protection when working on a ridge.
Order the DCI Smart Ridge II Intake Vent for a low-visibility ridge intake on your next roofing project.
