Roof Ridge Vents

Common Questions

Roof ventilation is essential to maintaining your home. It does not only protect your loft insulation, but prevents any moisture having a detromental impact on the timber within your roof. There are, however, a few common questions our customers ask before buying ridge vents. Below are answers to each of these!

Do You Need a Ridge Vent?

Ridge ventilation is essential. It ensures air that enters at the eaves of your roof is able to escape. This flow of fresh air prevents any moisture from building up beneath your roofing materials by removing warm air. In doing so, it reduces the chance of your timber becoming damp and rotting. 

Will My Ridge Vent Lead? 

The majority of ridge vents are purposely designed to direct intrusion of water. Whilst sideways rain may enter on occasion, this is highly unlikely and should dry quickly due to the continuous flow of fresh air.

What Are the Other Types of Roof Ventilation?

There are various styles of roof ventilation. Each is designed to be placed at different spots on your roof. The different types of roof ventilation include:

• Tile vents
• Ridge vents
• Eave vents
• Static vents
• Gable vents
• Turbine vents
