As the president of Tamlyn. The company was established in May 1971 by Ron Tamlyn, Sr., and remains family-owned to this day.

Our history is one of quality, innovation, and proven performance. We are proud to represent the manufacturing end of the building products industry and remain a competitive manufacturer committed to making products in America, I was introduced to Mr. Schofel, CEO of Moisture Flow®, in 2017 by one of my closest trusted engineers that I have a long working relationship as a consultant.
Over the past three years, we have been in close contact as the Soffit Vent developed. I have found Mr. Schofel to be a person of perseverance and determination to develop a badly needed product that has been overlooked in the building industry.

The Soffit Vent responds to the challenges and problems that our industry has yet to face and solve. The Soffit Vent effectively solves one of these long-standing problems; safety and effectively venting a bathroom to the soffit.

I was sent the finished product and found it to be perfectly engineered by its function and design. The product is streamlined and blends in perfectly when installed in the soffit. It also eliminates the need for unsightly vents through the siding or roof.

The Soffit Vent is unique in that it is designed for retrofits and existing homes and is perfect for new construction. 

It is the only venting system available that separates the moist air extracted by the bath fan from mixing with the soffit’s passive airflow of cool air for the intake of the attic’s circulation.

The Soffit Vent is well constructed, has a lifetime warranty, is cost-efficient, easy to install, and is Code Compliant.

The Soffit Vent is a preemptive measure that targets the cause of improper venting of a bathroom exhaust fan instead of treating the results of attic mold and moisture damage requiring the high costs of the remediation.

Tamlyn is known for manufacturing joist and truss hangers, brick ties, hurricane clips, straps, and holdowns, as well as unique and custom welded hangers and have determined the Soffit Vent will fit in with our primary line of products.

I strongly recommend this product. Venting a bathroom exhaust fan to the exterior is required by the Building Code in the USA. The Soffit Vent by Moisture Flow®, in my opinion, is an ingenious and badly needed product and solves a long-standing problem when using the soffit.

The Soffit Vent is an industry first. It innovates the existing bath fan vending industry and fills an unmet market need, providing a safe and effective way to vent a bathroom exhaust through a soffit without running the risk of the exhausted air from going back into the attic. Reentry of air into the attic causes moisture damage and mild growth and the Soffit Vent breaks this cycle of damage.

I am pleased to offer my endorsement for your soffit vent.

 I am pleased to offer my endorsement for the soffit vent product.

I think this product is a great idea and i look forward to being able to use it on future projects! 

During a remodel demo I discovered damp sheetrock and fiberglass insulation behind my bathroom wall. My builder KMR construction, removed a section of the ceiling and found wetness near a soffit vent used for the bathroom exhaust fan. To confirm if this was the leak the builder turned on a the shower and exhaust fan. Within a few minutes he saw moisture being drawn back into the soffit from the soffit vent – a vent that was 100% code complaint.

The builder and I discussed solutions; he said he could vent through the roof but the configuration of my home would require very long hoses. Not wanting to cut holes in the roof I searched for another solution and found the Soffit Vent by Moisture Flow ® which installs on the existing hose and directs the bathroom exhaust away from the home – this was the prefect retrofit to solve my problem.

I called the company and spoke with Richard Schofel, CEO the inventor of his Soffit Vent and brought me two prototypes to my home, one for each of my bathrooms. Both my builder and I inspected the two vents. My builder said he thought it would work and installed them immediately. Once installed, the builder performed the same test with the shower and the bathroom fan running and confirmed the Moisture Flow Soffit Vent was working – it was directing the bathroom exhaust fan moisture away from the soffit. I felt comfortable my issue was a resolved. The Soffit Vent by Moisture Flow ® an excellent solution to current code approved venting systems that can cause leaks as subsequent mold and moisture damage. The Soffit Vent costs a little more than the current standard, but at the end of the day , it saved me what would have been costly repairs. The benefits of the Soffit Vent by Moisture flow definitely outweighs the price. It solves a problem ! I feel confident that with this system my home will not be at risk for mold and moisture damage leaking leaks.
