Ranch house super simple straight run roof, interior of house is 1,100 square feet. A shoebox by today's standards.
15 foot sides. 57 feet long. I currently have an aluminum ridge vent (kind of a trough in shape, that runs perhaps 55 of the 57 feet. It caps about a 3-4 inch opening in the ridge decking.
Is the new ridge vent plastic with shingles over it AS effective? Is it compatible with the ridge opening? Are there any "bewares" when it comes to these low profile plastic vent technologies?
Btw, having Owens Corning duration architectural shingles in summer harvest color blend installed with 6 feet ice dam and then above that a standard synthetic underlayment to the ridge.
