Wind Vented Roof System | WindSmart

A wind vented roof system is a type of commercial roof assembly that uses pressure equalization and air sealing to manage air and moisture movement within the roof structure. By allowing controlled airflow and preventing trapped air pressure, this system helps maintain structural integrity and reduces the risk of damage from internal pressure differential.

Our wind vented roofing system is designed to perform under the stresses of high wind, rain, and hail, delivering long-term durability for commercial buildings. Our installations follow best practices and prioritize life-cycle performance so that clients get the most value from their roof investment.

Traditional roof assemblies often rely solely on rigid membranes and insulation, without addressing the internal air pressure and moisture that can build up beneath the roof surface. In contrast, we deploy a roof system that actively manages air pressure and ventilation, reducing the likelihood of moisture entrapment and structural degradation over time.

Moreover, our wind vented roofing system provides a more holistic solution — combining quality materials, proper configuration, and skilled installation to meet rigorous weather-resistance and durability standards that many conventional systems cannot match.

Building owners benefit from a roof that remains dry and structurally sound over the long term. Thanks to our wind vented roofing system, the risk of moisture-related problems — such as rot, mold, or premature deterioration — is significantly reduced, which helps maintain property value and minimize unexpected repair costs.

Because our wind vented roofing system is installed with lifecycle cost-efficiency in mind, owners often see a lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional roofs. This includes durability, reduced maintenance, and extended service life.

Our design incorporates pressure-equalization and controlled airflow, which allows any moisture that enters the roof assembly — through condensation or incidental leaks — to escape rather than accumulate. This effective moisture removal prevents waterlogging, material degradation, and the potential need for a complete roof tear-off.

Because the roof remains dry long-term, the structural integrity and insulation performance stay intact. The result is a more stable, durable roof that avoids many of the common failures associated with trapped moisture.

Yes. The roof system we provide is engineered to resist the destructive forces of weather by combining appropriate materials and precise installation. When properly configured and installed, it offers enhanced protection against wind uplift, heavy rain, and hail impact compared to many standard roof assemblies.

Absolutely. From the outset, our wind vented roof system is often more cost-effective for large, open-span commercial roofs or challenging deck configurations. Reduced labor, efficient material use, and optimized installation contribute to lower upfront costs in many applications.

Yes, one of the core advantages of this innovative system that we highlight is environmental stewardship. We take that very seriously, and see it as our duty to do what we can. By avoiding frequent tear-offs associated with roof failures, our systems help reduce construction waste that would otherwise contribute to landfill load. Less waste means a smaller environmental footprint over time.

Roof installations are carried out by certified contractors who meet our strict standards. Becoming a WindSmart Approved Applicator means the contractor is trained in our proprietary installation techniques and understands how to execute a wind vented roofing system properly for maximum performance and durability.
