Roof eave eyebrow.
Norm was thinking about a shed or gable dormer when designer jock gifford came up with a twist.
Eaves form the overhang to distribute water clear of the walls.
A home s ventilation system consists of everything from roof vents to the best attic fans without the right roofing and attic ventilation system your home can become uncomfortable and cost more to cool or heat.
Doing so raises the eave which prevents it from conflicting with the window head height.
History behind the mult purpose dci eyebrow vent.
If you don t have soffits or your roof style doesn t allow for soffit vents some homeowners will consider a drip edge vent.
They also help to frame windows on upper stories.
Drip edge vents are a two in one installation that promote water shedding at the eaves and rakes of a roof while also allowing for ventilation into the attic.
The new dci eyebrow vent begins many years ago when dci was approached regarding specialty vents for critical areas of the roof and other specialty vents regarding electric powered vents on the market bath and kitchen vents etc.
An eave is the edge of the roof that overhangs the face of a wall and normally projects beyond the side of a building.
A 4 foot high curve topped window that broke the eaves line of the front of the building and ended in an eyebrowlike dormer on the roof.
Open eaves with trusses.

Norm framed his eyebrow with two separate support structures one for the roof and one for the ceiling.
