10 x Felt Lap Vents Prevents Loft roof Condensation. Attic Space Ventilation

Product Information

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.

We have moved into this house a couple of years now and we are having a lot of problems with the heating. Changed to gas after the first year and fixed some of the plumbing issues but we are getting a lot of condensation, mould on some of the ceilings in the corners and the house doesn't really retain any heat. Having said that, if you have added or are planning to add roof vents for clean air in the loft space, you may not care for such a solution. Our roof ventilation range is entirely British manufactured, as are the majority of our products; proudly supporting British manufacturing and minimising risk in the supply chain and in your project schedules.

Smart, simple, safe and efficient

It is recommended that one ventilator panel is fitted between each rafter in the lowest underlay lap above the level of the insulation layer in the loft on both sides of the roof (see product brochure fig. 1).

Normal air gets warm and rises. It filters through the ceiling, getting warmer as it passes through warm rooms and eventually gets into the loft. The loft is usually colder than the house rooms and as soon as the rising warm air hits a colder surface the vapour immediately turns to water. 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 No good quality roof vents leak when installed correctly. If a slate or tile vent is suspected of leaking, the circumstances should be considered. Felt lap vents are designed to increase the amount of ventilation in existing roof spaces. They tend to be fitted retrospectively to properties which have additional loft insulation, with the roof lap vent helping to combat the issue of condensation accumulation. Ridge tile vents are placed on the ridge, at the very peak of the roof to allow warm air to escape rather than condense in the roof space. The vent ridge replaces a normal ridge tile and the felt below the vent ridge is cut to allow the air out through a sleeve which comes with the ridge tile. Ridge tile vents can, by adding a pipe adapter, also be used to fix an extractor fan hose to.

Roof ventilation from Manthorpe can help save both pennies and the environment. In an increasingly energy-conscious world, clients are much more aware of how to save money as well as the planet, so specifications can become even more demanding, putting extra pressure on budgets. Fortunately, Manthorpe’s cost-effective solutions cater for all types of roof ventilation requirements, including new build and refurbishment. 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.

A warm roof will have the insulation in between the rafters directly under the roof tiles which means that the loft space will be heated also. They tend to only be used in smaller lofts where the cost of heating a large void space will not be too expensive.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. Hambleside Danelaw have produced a short article about the ventilation requirements for cold and warm pitched roofs which is featured on Roofing Today. Ensuring familiarity with the roofing ventilation requirements will assist in constructing an appropriately ventilated roof. Here’s a selection of roof vents with pitch preferences we have available. Discover more via our wide range of ventilation, including specific sizes: Roof ventilation has always been critical in letting a house or building ’breathe’ and ensure that roof spaces don’t gather moisture and condensation with unpleasant and possibly costly consequences. However, in modern houses with more efficient central heating systems and highly effective insulation methods, temperature differences created between living and roof spaces can present significant roof and eaves ventilation challenges. Drawn to colder roof spaces by convection, condensed water vapour can lead to rotting timbers, rusted metal fixtures and felt damage from mould growth. The lap vent is another easy solution for ventilation problems. Especially in poorly vented areas of the property. Though commonly used on older roofs with bitumen sarking felt (waterproofing layers), they can also be fitted to roof membranes if needed. A dry ridge vent system is mandatory for all new roof installations in the UK. They are installed without the use of mortar. A mortar is a wet ridge used to support this type of vent.
