Air Vent, Inc. - Wind Turbines

A non-electric alternative to ventilation, these vents use the natural force of wind and air pressure to spin and vent out stale attic air. They do it with a series of specially shaped vanes that catch the wind and provide rotary motion. This pulls hot, humid air from the attic. Turbine vents provide a low-cost ventilation alternative in areas where wind speeds of at least 5 mph are typical.

Air Vent's wind turbines are available in both internally and externally braced styles Patented Delrin® bearings assure long-lasting, quiet operation with no metal parts to squeak
Two-piece base fits roof pitches from 3/12 up to 12/12
Large flashing allows for easy installation
Galvanized steel or aluminum construction in 12- and 14-inch sizes
Colors: Mill, Black, Brown and Weatherwood

Benefits:

Provide year-round ventilation
Low cost and high efficiency make them an extremely popular ventilation component
Design Considerations:

Like roof vents, turbines must always be used with adequate soffit venting to meet minimum ventilation code requirements
Homeowners should not be instructed to cover turbines in winter weather because that would prevent ventilation
You'll need to replace your turbine vent when it stops spinning, because properly functioning turbine vents spin with the slightest wind
