The ab20 form part of a passive ventilation system that works year round with no. G2500n vent over fascia vent which allows calculated airflow into the roof cavity vb20 vent vented batten performs two functions.

There are three main types of flat roof construction namely cold deck warm deck and inverted warm deck the only one of which requires ventilation being the cold deck see figures 6 and 7. A placed on top of the purlins.
