LP2

LP2 Ridge Vent

Our premier custom-cut vent strip includes polyester vent material inserts for a snug fit and optimum ventilation at a cost lower than traditional fans and louvers. Made with recycled materials, it features a 40-year limited warranty and our proprietary adhesive for a superior hold. Our patented LP2 offers superior Net Free ventilation that reduces condensation and helps lower utility costs.

Benefits

  • Leak-Free Protection – Its seamless design helps prevent roof leaks and water intrusion, protecting the home from moisture damage.
  • Dual-Purpose Venting – Designed to vent both bathroom fans and dryers through the roof, reducing the need for multiple roof penetrations.
  • Improved Airflow – Helps efficiently remove moisture, heat, lint, and odors from the home.
  • Built-In Flapper – The flapper helps prevent backdrafts, outside air intrusion, pests, and debris from entering the vent system.
  • Installation Flexibility – Available with or without an attached collar to fit different installation needs and duct connections.
  • Cleaner Roof Appearance – The low-profile, seamless construction provides a more finished and professional look on the roof.
  • Durability – Made to withstand outdoor weather conditions while maintaining reliable performance over time.
  • Reduced Moisture Problems – Properly exhausting bathroom humidity can help reduce mold, mildew, and condensation buildup inside the home.

How To Install

LP2 comes 75 feet to a box, in 25 three-foot sections. With LP2’s double bead of industrial strength adhesive, one person can simply remove the peel-and-stick strips to apply LP2 to the metal roof, then secure the ridge cap over the LP2 with fasteners or nails. It’s that easy!
