Roof Ventilation

Common Questions 

Ensuring your roof is well ventilated helps to avoid a host of potential problems. The most dangerous of which is weakened timber, caused by the build-up of moisture in your roof space. By allowing air to pass through your roof space, however, you can combat any moisture forming. There are, however, a few common questions our customers ask before buying these roofing sheets. Below are answers to each of these!

Why Do I Need to Ventilate My Roof?  

Condensation may form in your roof space over time. This is caused by changes in the temperature and is therefore unavoidable. Allowing this moisture to remain could lead to the timber beams becoming weakened. You can overcome this by utilising tile, ridge or eave vents to encourage to flow through your roof space. 

I Can’t Find a Vented Tile That Matches My Roof Tiles? 

Not all manufacturers supply vented roof tiles. Instead you will utilise other forms of roof ventilation to prevent condensation from forming, such as ridge or eave vents. As these are usually hidden, you can use these whatever the colour or profile of your tiles. 

What Do I Use for an Extractor Fan? 

If you’ve got an extractor fan located in your roof space, you can use a tile vent to extract cold air from the outside. Simply ensure you follow the installation and safety guide provided by the extractor fan manufacturer.
