Low Profile Vents

The Low Profile Vent Looks Good While Looking Out for Your Buildings

Metallic Products’ low profile vents are an aesthetically pleasing — and extremely efficient — means of ventilating your steel buildings’ standing seam roofs. Designed to virtually disappear into your ridge line, these low-maintenance accessories are ideal for attic spaces, office buildings and other smaller-scale steel buildings that don’t require high-volume air movement.

Made in America at our Houston, Texas, production facility, Metallic Products’ low profile vents come factory assembled, and are available in a range of throat sizes, colors and finishes. Although manufactured in 10’ lengths, the finished product can be installed as a single unit or butted together to form a continuous run. (End caps and splice kits are shipped loose for field installation.) In continuous-run applications, splice kits provide the appearance of a single unit.

For steel buildings in areas that regularly experience high wind scenarios, we offer enhanced product options. Low profile vent varieties featuring Florida product approval and Miami-Dade high velocity hurricane zone (HVHZ) approval adhere to the strict construction standards set forth for areas such as the Florida Keys and coastal regions. Our low profile vents have also undergone evaluation and approval processes by the Texas Department of Insurance.
