Marco Industries Announces Launch of Steep Slope Ventilation Division and Python™ Product Line

The Python Steep Slope Ventilation Division focuses on the issues of heat buildup and excess moisture in attics caused by inadequate roof ventilation.

Marco Industries announces the formation of the Python Steep Slope Ventilation Division to focus on the issues of heat buildup and excess moisture in attics caused by inadequate roof ventilation. Marco Industries, the recognized market leader in metal roofing ventilation is leveraging its considerable capabilities in engineering, design and manufacturing to address the many costly issues plaguing the ventilation of shingle roofs. The realities of an aging housing stock combined with newer highly insulated and sealed homes; means the challenges have never been greater. These issues have not been adequately addressed by an industry noted for small changes and low innovation.

Shingle over ridge vents:

• Python’s 4-foot patented, plastic FlexFit™ Ridge Vent is field adjustable from 12” to 10” and 9” shingle cap sizes, all in one product.
• Our Python™ Weather-Tite™ Rolled Ridge Vent, in 20-foot rolls, is economical, extremely durable and keeps out rain, sleet and snow with its tiny but dense baffle construction impregnated with a non-wicking polyester composite formulation. Snow infiltration: Zero.
• Our Python Weather-Tite FlexFit Ridge Vent includes our non-wicking polyester, no-clog, no excuses weather barrier that is 99.99% water proof and tested and will not allow snow, dust dirt or insects in, period.

Impact tested and rated static vents:

• Python™ 65 Slant Back Vent offers 65 square inches of Net Free Area (NFA) for 30% fewer roof penetrations. Four side crickets: sheds water around the throat of the vent, making it virtually leak proof.
