Expert: Todd E. Miller Date: 7/1/2008 Subject: Decorative ridge vent
Question We are about to reroof our old farmhouse. Originally it would have had a red composite roof with formed metal pieces that went on the ridge line to seal the ridge. Today people use ridge shingles instead.
We are planning to put in a ridge vent on our ridge. I am wondering if anyone makes a decorative ridge vent that looks like the old metal ridge pieces that were originally on this building.
Answer It is not normally vented but maybe there is a way to vent it. However, the only company I know of to suggest is W F Norman Corp out of Nevada, MO. A google search will find them easily.
You might also try contacting a local sheet metal shop.
