Why consider self-closing vents?

Not only do new California building codes require new venting devices for new
construction, but homeowners concerned about protecting their homes and
property are demanding retrofit of their existing structures.

The retrofit market creates new opportunities for you to serve new clients while
protecting their homes from wildfire.  A win-win for you and the homeowner.

And consider other uses for a self-closing vent.  A furnace room, wood/pellet
burning stove, shop or garage can be isolated from the rest of the house buying
valuable time in the event of a fire.

Why choose the Vivico FireGuard Vent?

For the builder, it's ease of installation.  Whether retrofit or new construction,
simply insert into the eave vent opening.  (A metal, continuously vented soffit may
require the addition of a non-vented layer.)

For the homeowner, you can show them that you have provided the best, highest
quality product that exceeds building code requirements.
