01 — Product Overview
Apex Ridgevent: Custom Industrial Ventilation for Factories
The Apex Ridgevent is a custom on-site assembled ridge ventilation system designed specifically for large-span industrial and commercial factory roofs. Spanning the entire length of the roof ridge, it allows hot air to escape the building space while facilitating the continuous inflow of fresh air through the inlet or opening vent.
Constructed from frames manufactured in the Geometric Steels factory and installed on-site, the Apex Ridgevent consists of two frame structures — primary and secondary — pre-assembled and welded together to form a solid, stable framework. This two-stage process ensures superior fit, sealing, and structural integrity compared to standard ridge vent solutions.
This two-stage process ensures superior fit, sealing, and structural integrity compared to standard ridge vent solutions.
Its innovative design supports enhanced indoor air quality by reducing heat build-up and promoting continuous airflow — while robust construction, effective rainwater drainage, and material versatility make it a sustainable, cost-effective investment for factories and large-scale facilities.

Pre-Fabricated Welded Frame System
The main frame is securely welded with a base steel component at the ridgevent throat, integrating seamlessly into the roof structure for superior sealing and a reduced likelihood of leaks.
Colour-Coated Sideboard
with Edge Flashing
The sideboard is constructed from colour-coated pressed profile sheet with edge flashing, providing enhanced strength and a clean architectural finish.
Integrated Flow Guide Plate
An integrated flow guide plate directs rainwater onto the roof surface, preventing water infiltration and ensuring reliable rainwater management throughout the building's service life.
Spans Entire Roof Ridge Length
The Apex Ridgevent spans the complete length of the roof ridge, delivering continuous and uniform ventilation for the entire factory floor area below.

03 — Construction System
How the Apex Ridgevent is Built?
A two-stage manufacturing and assembly process ensures superior structural integrity, precise roof fit, and a reduced likelihood of water leaks compared to standard ridge vents.
1. Factory Pre-Fabrication of Frames
Two frame structures — primary and secondary — are pre-assembled in the Geometric Steels factory to ensure quality control, ease of delivery, and faster on-site installation.
2. Primary and Secondary Frames Welded Together
The primary and secondary structures are welded together to form a solid and stable framework. The main frame is securely welded with a base steel component at the ridgevent throat, integrating seamlessly into the roof structure.
3. Sideboard Cladding with Edge Flashing
The sideboard is constructed from colour-coated pressed profile sheet with edge flashing, providing enhanced structural strength and a finished aesthetic appearance on the roof ridge.
4. Cladding Material Selection
Depending on installation requirements, the ridge can incorporate either colour-coated metal profile sheets or translucent polycarbonate sheets — offering flexibility for light, thermal, and aesthetic requirements.
5. Flow Guide Plate Installation for Rainwater
An integrated flow guide plate is fitted to direct rainwater onto the roof surface. This leak-proof solution prevents water infiltration and ensures reliable rainwater management throughout the vent's service life.
6. On-Site Assembly and Installation
The complete Apex Ridgevent is assembled on-site, designed to fit precisely on the roof ridge. Its custom fit ensures superior sealing compared to pre-manufactured fixed-size alternatives.
04 — Material Options
Two Cladding Material Options
The Apex Ridgevent accommodates two cladding options depending on your ventilation, daylighting, and aesthetic requirements.
Standard Cladding Option
Colour-Coated Metal
Profile Sheets
The sideboard is constructed from colour-coated pressed profile sheet with edge flashing, offering enhanced structural strength and long-term weather resistance.
Provides full opacity for maximum thermal insulation
Colour-coated for durability and aesthetic integration
Edge flashing for enhanced structural strength
Long-term weather resistance for industrial environments
Natural Daylighting Option
Translucent Polycarbonate Sheets
Translucent polycarbonate sheet cladding allows natural daylight to enter the factory space through the ridgevent, reducing artificial lighting requirements during daytime hours.
Allows natural daylight into the factory floor area
Reduces dependence on artificial lighting — energy savings
UV-resistant polycarbonate for long-term performance
Maintains ventilation performance while adding daylighting
05 — Benefits
