HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Westlake Royal Building Products^™ (“Westlake Royal”), a Westlake company (NYSE: WLK), is introducing four new gable vents to its Mid-America^® line of exterior siding accessories. The new gable vents offer several advantages over alternative gable vents, including a high vent-free area and a surface-mount application that allows the vent to sit flat on the wall, eliminating the siding pocket for flat surfaces.

These gable vents feature a full-size architectural trim design for easy installation with large siding pocket. They allow for quick disassembly of the face and black plate; unlike competing products, the lock doesn’t engage until the product is fully installed.

“Our new gable vents not only offer the attic ventilation and energy savings pros expect from a gable vent, but they also provide for simpler, more efficient installation to keep crews moving,” said Steve Booz, vice president of marketing at Westlake Royal Building Products. “Plus, with several shapes and Mid-America’s extensive color selection, it’s easy to add architectural detail for a stylish look.”

Other features of these gable vents include a sturdy, molded-in screen design for protection against bugs and an integrated baffle system that diverts driving rain from the attic space. They are designed for durability and low maintenance, and they are lightweight, further easing installation.

Mid-America’s new gable vents work with all types of siding, including engineered wood, fiber cement, vinyl, stucco, wood, shake, metal and brick. Available in four shapes—14”x14” square, 14”x20” rectangle, 20”x26” rectangle, and 22” octagon—they also come in 20 SolidThru™ standard colors and 250 custom colors to match your siding.
