Snapvent® Continuous Soffit Vent
EXPANSION & CONTRACTION: Siding panels will expand and contract due to changes in temperature. Allow a 1/8"gap between panels and trim.
FASTENERS: Stainless steel fasteners are recommended when installing Tamlyn Xtreme Trim™.
FASTENING: Do not fasten edges of panels until trims are in place. Fasten panel at center and work outward. Fasteners should be staggered on opposite panel edges.
CUTTING: Use a non ferrous carbide miter saw blade when cutting Tamlyn Xtreme Trim™
PAINTING: Use light or pastel paint colors only on Tamlyn PVC or Sherwin-Williams Vinyl Safe™ Paint. Use of dark color paint will cause deformation. Tamlyn vinyl products are not warranted if painted with dark color paint. See Tamlyn PVC Trim Painting Guide
Please follow siding manufacturer's best practice application when installing any Tamlyn accessory. Xtreme Trim™ profiles do not form a moisture management system, the architect and builder are responsible for designing and installing a code compliant building envelope.

The best looking, most "framer-friendly", easy to install, effective
continuous soffit vent on the market. Unique
double leg channels hide edges of soffit
material for clean look and help prevent vent
from being pulled up into subfascia. Complies
with the International Residential Code
requiring that ventilation be balanced 50%
exhaust / 50% intake (soffit) in all situations
including continuous ridge vents. Patents
cover use of Tamlyn H Mold at seams. 1/8" holes proven to not allow insects/ bugs/bees
etc to enter the attic.
Wide Snapvent® - 1/4", 5/16" and 5/8" Wide Snapvent® is a must for large attic/steep pitched homes with limited soffit areas available to vent, and multifamily jobs, providing 12.7 and 18.8 sq.in/foot air flow (more attic ventilation = less likelihood of preventable problems such as mold, caused by excessive attic moisture), or use double vents.
