Vented soffit panel

摘要

A vented soffit panel is provided. The soffit panel includes a first panel section, a second panel section and a vent channel. The vent channel is positioned between the first and second panel sections and extends along a width of the soffit panel. The vent channel has a generally dove-tailed shape defined by a first sidewall extending from the first panel section at an acute angle relative thereto, a second sidewall extending from the second panel section at an acute angle relative thereto and a top wall extending between the first and second sidewalls. The top wall has at least one row of openings extending substantially along the width. The row of openings in the top wall being positioned such that when the panel is installed the row of openings are obscured from a view of an ordinary observer by at least one of the first and second panel sections.

1. A vented soffit panel comprising:
a first panel section; a second panel section; and a three-walled vent channel positioned between the first and second panel sections, the vent channel defined by a first sidewall extending from the first panel section at a first acute angle relative to the first panel section, a second sidewall extending from the second panel section at a second acute angle relative to the second panel section, and a top wall extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, a third acute angle between the top wall and the first sidewall and a fourth acute angle between the top wall and the second side wall; a first row of holes through the top wall disposed above and overlapping the first panel section, the first angle, second angle, third angle and fourth angle being substantially equal and defining a dovetail geometry of the three-walled vent channel such that the first row of holes is obscured from view by at least one of the first and second panel sections; and a second row of holes through the first sidewall.
