Abstract
A ridge vent, roof ridge vent installation, and method of installing a ridge vent is provided. Preferably, the ridge vent includes a ventilation material that has opposite longitudinally-extending side edges that are covered with an air permeable filter material. A longitudinally-extending central section of the vent is not covered by the air permeable filter material, is transparent, and enables a ventilating air flow to pass through the vent in a manner requiring only a single pass through the air permeable material. This permits greater air flow through the vent, and the transparent central section simplifies and enables accurate placement of the vent on the roof ridge.
