Wildfire How Do
V2 Vents Work During Wildfire?
V2 Vents combine our high airflow design with ember blocking and reactive flame defense in one vent assembly. Our stainless steel ember mesh blocks embers during ember attack – no activation required – works for the life of the vent. When wildfire heat reaches critical temperature at the vent, the intumescent coating on the honeycomb matrix expands and forms a protective barrier that blocks heat and flames from entering the vulnerable areas of your home
