Airkoe Light Ridge Roof Ventilation Systems
The Airkoe Light Ridge provides effective roof ridge ventilation for livestock buildings. Natural daylight is introduced without significantly increasing the building’s temperature, whilst allowing warm, stale air to escape.
By supporting natural airflow, the system improves air quality and maintains a healthier, more comfortable environment for livestock. Therefore, reducing the risk of respiratory problems, heat stress and bacterial infections.
Designed by two former dairy farmers, Airkoe Light Ridge systems combine practical agricultural experience with engineering expertise to deliver reliable ventilation, natural light and weather protection.

Description
Natural roof ridge ventilation for livestock buildings
The Airkoe Light Ridge is a custom-built roof system designed to provide natural ventilation and daylight for cattle sheds, dairy buildings, and other livestock housing. Suitable for both new builds and retrofits, it improves air quality and creates a healthier environment by allowing warm, stale, and moisture-laden air to naturally rise and escape at the highest point of the roof, while simultaneously, multi-layered polycarbonate sheeting simultaneously floods the interior with natural light.
Ultimately, every system is individually engineered and specified to match the exact dimensions, layout, roof type, and ventilation requirements of your building. Available in multiple configurations to accommodate various budgets and structural needs, the Airkoe Light Ridge is constructed from high-quality materials and fully managed from delivery to professional installation by experienced fitting teams.
Ridge Ventilation Options
Airkoe Light Ridge systems are available in a range of styles to suit different building designs and ventilation requirements.
Saddle Ridge with Side Ventilation
The Saddle Ridge is designed to provide effective ventilation while protecting the building from rain and snow.
Key features include:
- Side ventilation that allows warm, stale air to escape.
- Protection from rain and snow.
- A custom-made wind baffle to maximise airflow for the individual building.
- An optional ventilation hatch.
Curved Ridge with Side Ventilation
The Curved Ridge combines side ventilation with a strong, curved construction.
Key features include:
- A high snow-load carrying capacity.
- Protection from rain and snow.
- A custom-made wind baffle designed around the building and its ventilation requirements.
- An attractive, light appearance when viewed from inside the building.
Overhang Ridge
The Overhang Ridge offers a practical and cost-effective roof ridge ventilation option.
Key features include:
- Single or double overhang configurations.
- Options with or without a baffle plate.
- A range of specifications to accommodate different requirements and budgets.
- An individual design tailored to the building.
Our team can advise whether a saddle, curved or overhang ridge is best suited to the roof type, building layout and required level of ventilation.
Performance, Protection and Durability
The Airkoe Light Ridge combines natural ventilation with natural daylight and weather protection.
Its multi-layered polycarbonate sheeting helps to:
- Distribute natural light throughout the building.
- Resist impact.
- Provide protection from ultraviolet radiation.
- Allow daylight to enter without significantly increasing the internal temperature.
The lightweight and durable aluminium frame provides structural strength, while coated aluminium baffles help reduce reflections and allow the system to blend more naturally into the surrounding landscape.
Each system is designed to balance the required airflow with protection from rain, snow and changing weather conditions. The final design will depend on the building’s dimensions, roof construction, surrounding exposure and ventilation requirements.
Airkoe Light Ridge systems can be installed as part of a new livestock building or retrofitted to an existing roof. Our experienced team will assess the building and recommend the most suitable roof ridge ventilation system.
