The above photos reveals the differ-ence between a standard vent and aVulcan Vent™.
With Vulcan Vent™ , your house canbreathe but embers and fire don’tstand a chance!
How does it work?
Vulcan Vent™ begins with a standardframe design, but behind that is 1/4”hexagon expanded aluminum, coatedwith an intumescent coating fromFirefree Coatings Inc.
The coating swells up when exposedto high temperatures and closes offthe cells, effectively blocking off fire& ember intrusion.
BEFORE EXPOSURE TO HEAT:
AFTER EXPOSURE TO HEAT:
This unique design blocks not onlyFire & Embers but also the HEAT thatwould otherwise cause your attic toburst into flames.
The above graph shows the quick
response time of the intumescent
coating in stopping fire “cold” from
reaching the attic space. The blue
line shows the results of a standard
vent and the bottom three lines
show the results of three different
tests of the Vulcan Vent™.

Burning Embers from fires miles away can attack your home. Proven by independenttesting at Western Fire Center Inc, Vulcan Vent™ will keep dangerous embers from en-tering the ventilation areas of your home even when the fire is still far away. Then, inthe presence of fire the vent will self close preventing fire as well as ember intrusion.
