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 roof 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.
