Canplas® hasn’t always been in the roof ventilation market; but before we were, most vents in the market were made of metal.
These metal vents had screens on them that were difficult to install properly, making them a comfortable home for nesting birds and angry bees.
Canplas® saw an opportunity to enter into the ventilation market by creating the first Duraflo® product in 1992; the Duraflo® Square Top 6050 Roof Vent.
We spoke with our customers about these difficult-to-install screens and came up with a solution.
The vent emulated much of what the traditional metal vents looked like at the time, except that it was made of plastic. It included a grill on the inside to prevent nesting birds and bees from entering; so placing the grill into the vent was no longer part of the installer’s job. Instead, it is taken care of by Canplas® as part of the injection-moulded plastic process.
Our most basic square top roof vent has evolved in the last 24 years. Over that time, we’ve added features to redirect rain away from the home, fit shingle design and thickness better. Regardless of using shingles or wooden shakes, the new Duraflo® Square Top Roof Vents are optimized for your rooftop ventilation.
Canplas® is constantly working with customers to improve on our products—and our original product is no exception.
