Roof ventilation has become increasingly important to maintain high liveability, health and safety standards in Australian buildings.
Five key reasons why you should choose Vent-A-Roof® for your roof ventilation
Reduce Temperature
Roof ventilation allows hot, stagnant air that builds in the roof space to dispense to cooler outside air, which decreases the overall temperature of the structure.
Cost and Energy Efficient
Decreased temperature means less need for costly air-conditioning systems. A well-ventilated roof means air-conditioning ducts can operate at lower temperatures, therefore using less power to cool the structures.
Condensation Management
Condensation Management
In Australia’s diverse climates, stagnant air in the roof or building space can cause condensation to form. Because ventilation increases airflow, the chance of condensation forming is reduced. This is a preventative measure against the build-up of mould, a national health hazard.
Compliance
The National Construction Code has been updated to reflect the Australian Building Code’s Board’s actions to reduce condensation and increase energy efficiency. Roof ventilation reduces condensation and increases energy efficient and is therefore an important aspect of these changes.
Reduce Internal Pressure
Positive airflow across the ridge of the house creates a negative pressure which pulls air out from the ridge vent system and brings in fresh air from the intake vents below. In either calm or windy conditions, the entire ceiling cavity is vented by a constant flow of cooler, dryer outside air. These key factors create and maintain effective and efficient air flow.
