Vulcan Fire Safe Dormer Vents
Vulcan Dormer Vents
Built To Protect
Dormer roof vents allow heat to escape from the vent itself and are important to properly cool attic space. However, because dormer vents are raised, they are a common entry point for dangerous embers. By equipping dormer vents with Vulcan Vents, the home has better protection from floating embers that fly before a fire. For more information, Download the Vulcan Catalog.

Low Profile Eyebrow Vents
Half-Round Dormer Vents or Round Vents
Vertical Dormer and Gable Vents

Fire safety starts with Vulcan Vents.
Vulcan Vents dormer vents are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and feature an ember-catching mesh with an intumescent coating that expands and barricades when fire is near.
The core of our fire and ember-resistant vents are manufactured out of corrosion-resistant, high-grade aluminum honeycomb complete with an intumescent coating made by Firefree Coatings. The hexagonal intumescent coating is designed to quickly swell up and close off when exposed to high heat. The expanded material acts as an insulator to heat, fire, and embers.
