Having a good ventilation system on your roof is a crucial factor. Without roof ventilation, warm air cannot escape causing a build-up of condensation. Everyday activities such as bathing, showering, drying washing, boiling kettles and cooking all produce warm air. The warm air needs to be able to escape through windows or vents. If a home does not have effective roof ventilation the condensation that forms from the warm air will have a huge impact on the mechanical structure of a building and the health of people living in the building.
Condensation can cause huge, costly problems such as dampness, mould, and rot. Avoiding these problems by installing roof ventilation will preserve the structure of the building and ensure a longer building life. Ventilated homes are healthier homes that have clean air and higher energy efficiency. As building regulations become stricter and climate change becomes worse, having an energy efficient home is a must. Not only does it save you money but increases the value of your home as more people seek eco-friendly lifestyles.

Fascia Vents & Soffit Vents

Available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, fascia vents and soffit vents are undetectable once installed. Fascia Vents and Soffit Vents create a balanced air flow within a roof so the warm, stale air can be swapped for cool fresh air. Fascia vents, Circular Soffit Vents, and a Continuous Soffit Vent are all compatible with different parts of the roof so when all used in conjunction create a great ventilation system.

Ventilation packs consist of everything you need to complete a ridge vent, hip vent or eaves vent. Known for being one of the most durable roof ventilation methods, dry vent ridge & hip systems are vents disguised within ridge and hip tiles.

Eaves vent packs are equipped with everything needed to install an eaves vent. Eaves vent are designed to clear a gap between insulation and the wall so air can travel throughout the roof.

Roll Out Panel Vent Trays or Rafters are the full length of the eaves and are nailed into place. Rigid Panel Vent Trays or Eaves Panels are situated between rafters and are commonly fitted with flyscreens to prevent insect infestation.
