need a roof mount attic fan for a hip metal roof. What kind will work on a metal roof, and not leak?
Also, there is 4 box shaped vents on the roof, I am going to install a metal roof in a couple weeks. I want to remove the 4 vents and add a Solar Powered attic fan. Will the perforated soffit provide enough air intake for the attic fan? This way i can do away with the ugly vents and have just the one attic fan. Thanks
your question poses several other questions….sorry…..i’m a professional roofer who installs metal roofing everyday.first of all if your soffitt vents are installed properly they’ll do their job. the box vents can be removed , more holes cut in the existing roof (towards the ridge)…and have a vented ridge installed. they are made for metal roofing these days.this is a passive technique and requires no wiring or mechanicals……solar powered attic fan?….perhaps if you’re in the southern belt……anyway ….all things considered it comes down to flashing this fan in the end…..the roofer should be able to do this………….i’m known as THE ROOF DOCTOR in these parts…..upstate NY
