CertainTeed launches Roofing Ventilation Calculator mobile application
(Malvern, Pa.) – CertainTeed, North America’s leading building materials manufacturer, has
announced the availability of its new Roofing Ventilation Calculator mobile application. This
free digital tool gives building professionals a fast and accurate way to determine the amount of
ventilation products needed to outfit an attic space with balanced ventilation.
“Simplicity was the key in designing this tool,” said Dale Walton, manager of residential product
marketing with CertainTeed Roofing. “We understand contractors’ needs, and they want
something that is fast, reliable and easy to use, and that is exactly what they get with our
Ventilation Calculator.”
Available for both IOS and Android devices, the app includes the complete line of CertainTeed
Roofing ventilation products – ridge vents, rolled ridge vents, intake vents and static exhaust
vents.
Users simply enter the length and width of the attic space, or select the overall square footage of
the space, and the Ventilation Calculator outputs a list of the amount of products needed to
ventilate the space based upon the NFA 1/300 rule. Users can also highlight their products of
choice on the list, and share the results by email or text message to communicate the amount of
ventilation inventory they will need.
In addition to providing information on each product in the CertainTeed ventilation line, the app
provides links to the CertainTeed website ventilation product page, where users can access
