Why are Luxury Metals turbine vents better than other turbine vents that I have purchased in the past?
Luxury Metals turbines are built with heavier gauge metal than most other turbines on the market. they also use a unique “Jewel bearing” system where the turbine will spin without the traditional ball-bearing. Ball bearings either need lubrication or can break down prematurely. A turbine vent must spin properly to effectively vent and keep snow and rain out. The Jewel Bearing system will allow the turbine to spin effectively for a longer period of time with virtually zero maintenance and probability of premature breakdown.

What is ventilation?
Ventilation is simply the process of supplying a continuous supply of air through the attic space. "Proper ventilation " consists of 50% intake, under the eaves, and 50% exhaust near or at the roof peak, at least 3 feet higher than the intake system.
Why Ventilate?
To fight the enemies, heat and moisture, you must ventilate year round . Heat in unventilated attics may cause temperatures to exceed 150 degrees causing damage to shingles , roof sheathing and possibly radiate to the living area. Moisture being the #1 enemy, causes rot, mildew, mold, paint blisters, and renders insulation to be ineffective.
Proper ventilation reduces energy bills, winter ice build up and eliminates mold/mildew which can lead to major health problems. By ventilating, you are extending the life of other building components, shingles , insulation, etc.
