The amount of ventilation is controlled by the length of slot cut along the roof ridge. For
the most attractive roofline, it is recommended that Quarrix StormStop Ridge Vent Rolls or
Sections be installed along the entire ridge of the roof.
1. Ridge Ventilation Slot Preparation
from the pre-shingled roof using a circular saw
with a carbide tip blade (protective eye goggles
should be worn during this process). For Quarrix
2. End Cap Installation
Pull apart a pre-cut section of the foam end cap
found with the vent. Using a utility knife, make a cut
in the StormStop material
from the end of the section. Using construction
adhesive or sealant caulk, coat both sides of the
StormStop material where it has been cut back
at the end of the vent. Insert the foam end cap
with the cut-back StormStop material between
the foam end cap and the underside of the vent
to assure a weather-tight seal. Sealant must be
applied to roof shingles before installing vent.
See Step 3 for approved sealants.
