All of these functions are achieved by the use of an additional flexi-pipe adapter kit which connects the required service to the vent terminal, thereby removing unsightly penetrations through the roof. There are many benefits of roof vents. From reducing condensation to improving temperature control in the property, they’re admirable for many reasons. Two others are the following: Energy costs are reduced This slate vent can be adapted for both soil ventilation and mechanical extraction if you wish. You can convert it by attaching the HDSPA soil pipe adaptor.
Our roof tile and slate vents have undergone vigorous testing at the Building Research Establishment (BRE) to strengthen the design features of the final products and compatibility with surrounding roof structure. There are a wide variety of roofing vent types available. Here is a brief overview of the most common. Roof tile vent Ridge vents are designed to be installed at the apex of a pitched roof. Some ridge vents are designed to be attached to gas appliances to allow for direct ventilation, however they can also be used in tandem with eave or tile vents to effectively release moist and warm air from your roof space.

It is possible for rainwater and condensation to run down the roofing underlay and drip though the opening cut into the underlay. This will usually be apparent on the outside of the vent, or on the underlay. To prevent this, the underlay should be cut and dressed around the opening to divert any rainwater or condensation around the opening in the roof. Vented roofs allow heat to escape the space with ease. This can, in turn, reduce the need for solutions like air conditioning to lower bills. The life of the roof is extended In fact, another solution is tile vents. These can be fitted lower down a roof and combined with lap, dry ridge, ridge tile vents and roof tile vents fitted higher up the roof surface to improve air circulation.
Roof vents are applied to the roofing of properties today to help reduce weather affecting the function of a home. You can find many types of roof vents. If your property is older, it might not be required. Older houses were never truly built with proper roof vents, but it’s worth considering if your property suffers. Ridge vents can be installed by securing them to your roof ridge above suitably cut roofing felt or undersarking. These vents provide an impressive level of ventilation, but can almost never be used as a singular vent, but rather as an exit for rising air. Be aware that it is possible to install too many ridge vents however, particularly when it is very windy. This is because for homes with many ridge vents partnered with large eaves vents (a common occurrence in new builds), too much air can enter your loft space, potentially blowing your insulation about at the edges and causing damage. How you figure this out will depend on the age and type of property. You can do roof vent size calculation yourself or consult with a professional roofing expert. If you decide to work out the vent amount yourself, consider adding a little extra to the overall total. Don’t go over the top though, as this is difficult to alter in future. When upgrading roof space insulation, it is important to consider the effect on the roof and ensure that adequate levels of roofing ventilation is provided or maintained to avoid damage and the decay caused by the increased risk of condensation.

The number of eave or soffit vents you’ll need will depend upon your desired airflow and local building requirements. However, taking Manthorpe’s Circular Soffit Vent as an example, to achieve 10,000mm2/m of free airflow, they should be fitted at 200mm centres. One issue that can arise is “ice damming”. Many homeowners and professionals who are familiar with these lofts issues know of this problem.
