Dryer vents are installed precisely to provide an exit point for the heat when clothes are drying. The air that is transported out, is moist and lint-laden, a combination that makes this installation susceptible to fires.

The key is to prevent the build-up of lint and to ensure the proper flow of hot air. Metal has been found to collect less lint and because it’s sturdier, ducts are less likely to break which in turn can block the flow of air.
