Abstract
An air vent for tiled roofs is installed for air exchange occurs through a slit near the roof apex. The vent has a plurality of layers of corrugated materials defining a plurality of airways for air exchange. In one embodiment, a baffle is attached to a vent member. In another embodiment, a plurality of vent members is attached to a top panel, which may be made from the corrugated material, optionally with a route exposing airways for additional air exchange. A membrane may be present on the embodiments to prevent ingress of water, particulates, and insects into the roof interior. A covering member and/or a layer of cementous material may be used to further prevent undesired ingress of water, particulates, or insects. If present, the covering member is adhered to a lower panel of one embodiment and disposed below the baffle in another embodiment.
