A roof ridge and hip ridge vent system for contoured roofs which include a vent slot located through the roof structure. A contoured roofing material forms the roof surface. Vent strips are provided on the roof surface that extend on each side of the vent slot. The vent strip is comprised of synthetic fibers that are randomly aligned into an open web by an air flow and then joined by a phenolic or latex binder to form an air permeable mesh material having a generally uniform thickness, a density of about 0.08 to 0.1 grams per cubic centimeter (1.3 to 1.6 grams per cubic inch), and a crush recovery of at least 80%. A first longitudinally extending groove extends from the bottom surface about 40% to 60% of a height of the vent strip and is located a distance of at least about 1 inch from a downslope side.

A ridge vent comprising: (a) a first filter clothe layer extending along a predetermined width and a predetermined length; (b) a first entangled net layer extending along the predetermined width and the predetermined length; and, (c) a second entangled net layer operatively coupled to the first entangled net layer, the second entangled net layer extending along the predetermined length and a first portion and a second portion of the predetermined width so as to provide an air void in a widthwise direction within the second entangled net layer that extends along the predetermined length.

Improvements in an outside house vent that blocks embers, water and rain that can cause damage to a house of building. The prevention of fire and ember intrusion into a building prevents fires in homes where invalids and children are left alone. The prevention of water into structure further reduces the potential for mold growth in the attic or walls of a home or structure. The filtering further prevents intrusion of creatures such as but not limited to bugs, insects, bees, wasps, animals, critters and other flying and crawling animals from entering the building. The vent is a fireproof set of louver or filter pads with fire arresting screens that is passed through a wall that vents into the building. The vent can be installed on old and new construction to provide improved fire prevention, increase the value and salability in fire prone areas.

A ridge vent for tile roofs is provided having a vent strip located on each side of a roof ridge. The ridge vent includes a center water dam having a centering portion and two leg portions, with the centering portion being located over a ridge board. The vent strips includes a vent material, formed from a non-woven mat, including a first surface, which matches a surface of the tile roof, and a second surface. An upper water barrier is attached to the second surface of at least one of the vent strips and extends over the roof ridge. The ridge vent is rollable and can be provided as one piece or as separate components.

A support framework (101) for building casings (200) using pultruded uprights, a building casing (200) and a building structure (300). A process for realizing and installation of the building structure (300), as well as manufacturing processes of the various components of the framework.

A roof system includes a roof deck and a plurality of roof rafters supporting the roof deck. A thermal break is located between the deck and a first rafter of the plurality of rafters. The thermal break includes a break inner member contacting a first rafter exterior surface of the first rafter and a break outer member contacting a deck inner surface of the roof deck. The break inner member and the break outer member bound a thermal air break therebetween.

A general purpose insulation bag is provided. The general purpose insulation bag includes a jacket configured to form a desired three dimensional shape. The jacket forms a cavity therewithin and has an opening. Insulative material is positioned within the cavity and is configured to form an insulative layer. The insulative layer has a thickness configured to provide a desired insulative value to the general purpose insulation bag. The opening is configured to retain the insulative material within the cavity formed within the jacket.
