Saddle roof open ridge

Proper ventilation begins with proper extraction of spent air. For that reason, proper suction in the barn ridge is of great importance. As well as extracting spent air, the ridge is also an ideal spot to allow natural light into the barn. Being at the highest point it optimises the light and minimises the effect of solar radiant heat

The saddle roof with open ridge creates suction through the so-called chimney effect. The suction capacity of the ridge depends mostly on the chimney height and width. Airkoe manufactures all its light streets to guarantee the best possible air extraction.

As well as an opening for extracting spent air in the barn, the ridge has also a transparent polycarbonate sheet. These sheets are double-walled and spread the light inside the barn, while reducing the effects of solar radiant heat.
