Ornametals Manufacturing Introduces Groemo Ridge Vent System

Decatur, Ala. - Ornametals Manufacturing ("Ornametals") introduces today a new Roof Ridge Air Vent system to the U.S. market. Manufactured by Groemo GmbH & Co, KG ("Groemo"), the Ridge Vent system revolutionizes roof venting installation on metal roofs by eliminating the need for wooden support frames. Ornametals is the U.S. manufacturer of EuroGutterUSA, a complete line of rainwater goods in copper, zinc and stainless. Groemo is a leading specialist manufacturer of roof drainage components located in southern Germany.

The Groemo Roof Ridge Air Vent system consists of two components which lock into each other, ready for riveting. "The Groemo solution saves time. Instead of creating a wooden frame for a ridge vent, installers can now rivet a stainless steel Air Vent base directly onto metal roof panels, and then rivet a protective cap to the base. Quick and easy, the Groemo Ridge Vent system is a clever and attractive venting solution," says Ulrich Kolb, Director of International Sales for Groemo.

Earlier this year, Ornametals announced its exclusive partnership with Groemo, a leader in components for the roof drainage market. Currently, Ornametals is Groemo's exclusive North American distributor of European-style gutter and downspout accessories including outlets, elbows, and end caps.

"We have always aspired to be a one-stop shop for high-end roofing solutions. Our exclusive partnership with Groemo ensures that we can offer our EuroGutterUSA line of U.S.-manufactured gutters and downspouts as a complete roof drainage system. We are pleased to extend our product line to roof venting by introducing Groemo's new Roof Ridge Air Vent system to the U.S. market," says Guenther Huber, President of Ornametals.

Made from stainless steel, the Air Vent base resists corrosion and provides the roof ventilation necessary to ensure the full life of an owner's investment in metal roofing. The protective caps, which are quickly and easily riveted to the Air Vent base, can be easily fabricated by an installer or are available for purchase in copper, zinc, galvanized steel, aluminum, zinc and quartz zinc, ensuring a visually attractive fit with any metal roofing solution.

"Together, Ornametals and Groemo are poised to have a significant share of the U.S. roof drainage and venting markets. Groemo's enduring reputation for high-quality, economical roof drainage and specialty accessories makes Groemo an excellent fit for Ornametals. We are pleased to have such a valued partner join the EuroGutterUSA Team," says Amir Massihzadeh, Ornametals.
