Enka-Vent – An Introduction

Enka-Vent is a Nylon Roof Underlay product developed to help protect metal roofing from corrosion due to condensation buildup. Enka-Vent is light and easy to install. As long as provision is made for air to enter and exit the cavity, Enka-Vent encourages ventilation and drainage across the entire plane of the roof structure. Enka-Vent also has the added benefit of significantly reducing rain noise and helping reduce the visual impact of any irregularities in the roofing substrate.
