Ember-Resistant Vents
Standard vents are one of the most common entry points for burning embers during a wildfire. We replace them with certified ember-resistant models that allow proper ventilation while blocking the embers that cause most home ignitions.

Understanding the Risk
During a wildfire, embers travel ahead of the fire front and seek out openings in buildings. Standard 1/4-inch mesh vents allow embers to enter attics and crawl spaces, where they ignite combustible materials and start fires from inside the home—often while firefighters focus on exterior threats.
Our Solution
