ViperVent® CDR

ViperVent® CDR is a drainage and ventilation mat designed to eliminate moisture and moisture vapor in roofing and siding applications. It is useful in cedar shingle/shake roofing and siding where a clean airspace is desired for ventilation and drainage.

Building a More Durable and Efficient SIP Home

In partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Mahoning Valley, Keene Building Products provided ViperVent™ CDR to enhance the durability and performance of a structural insulated panel (SIP) home in Salem, Ohio. The project aimed to create a long-lasting, energy-efficient home while ensuring effective moisture management within the roofing and siding systems.

Solving Moisture Challenges with ViperVent™ CDR

SIP homes are known for their superior insulation and energy efficiency, but proper ventilation and drainage are critical to preventing moisture buildup that can lead to rot and structural damage. ViperVent™ CDR was integrated into the roofing and siding systems to:

  • Create an air gap that allows moisture to dry efficiently.
  • Prevent rot and water-related damage, extending the home’s lifespan.
  • Enhance energy efficiency by reducing trapped moisture that can impact insulation performance.
  • Support sustainable building practices, aligning with Habitat for Humanity’s mission of providing high-quality, long-lasting homes.

This project highlights how ViperVent™ CDR plays a crucial role in ensuring the home remains structurally sound and energy-efficient for years to come.

Why Habitat for Humanity Chose ViperVent™ CDR

As a nonprofit dedicated to providing affordable, sustainable housing, Habitat for Humanity of Mahoning Valley prioritizes durability and efficiency in its construction methods. ViperVent™ CDR was chosen because of its proven moisture management performance, ease of installation, and long-term benefits.

“By integrating ViperVent™ CDR into this SIP home, we are ensuring better ventilation and moisture control, which is critical to the longevity of the structure. This product aligns with our commitment to building homes that are not just affordable but also durable and sustainable.” – Habitat for Humanity Representative
