Smart Vent Products, Inc presents their award winning flood vents, SMART VENT at the 2012 NAHB International Builders' Show.

NEW YORK, NY, January 22, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Smart Vent Products, Inc is proud to present their award winning product, SMART VENT at the 2012 NAHB International Builders' Show, in booth #W4087. Improving possibilities in flood management and control, SMART VENT combines innovative design and human ingenuity to bring new solutions to the problem of foundation damage in areas effected by floods. The show takes place February 8-11, 2012 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

Certified by the International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) and accepted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), each standard vent model is certified for 200 square feet of flood coverage. SMART VENT provides a line of engineered openings that utilizes the best flood venting practices to out perform a traditional air vent. Controlled by patented dual floats, SMART VENT automatically opens when flood water levels rise, without electricity and without human intervention. Temperature controlled louvers control the airflow in and out of a crawlspace on all dual function models. When tragedy strikes, SMART VENT springs to action, equalizing the pressure associated with floodwaters and allowing debris in those waters to pass through the opening with out clogging. This design feature saves homes from untold foundation damage. Substituting an air vent for a certified flood vent can be catastrophic; air vents clog with debris and are not designed to relieve hydrostatic floodwater pressure. SMART VENT has worked extremely hard to offer a line of ICC-ES certified flood vents that meet and exceed all national & state building codes along with all FEMA regulations.

"With a model for every type of construction application, our certified line of flood vents make building in a FEMA flood zone a hassle free experience," said Tom Little, Vice President of Smart Vent Products Inc.

SMART VENT has won a number of awards for its innovative solution, has been praised by building professionals across the country, and is committed to providing the best protection for foundations when disaster strikes. Made of durable 316 stainless steel, SMART VENT meets or exceeds all rust and corrosion requirements. Unlike other flood venting options they are also aesthetically pleasing, blending into any exterior with a variety of colors and custom options. Additionally, SMART VENT offers AIA continuing education for Architects, as well as in-depth CAD files, specs and videos.
