10K Slate Roof Vent Ventilator Grey / Ventilation for Extractor fans, Soil Pipes

Product Information

The dry ridge system is an innovative style of ventilation, combating the traditional method of using mortar and sand during the ridge and hip tiles installation. 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. Ideally, you will want to have a perfect balance. So, try to consider what is needed and what might help further in specific weather. Here is how to calculate the number of roof vents needed for your roof: Wind tunnelling is when the air will through one vent and out through another. Perhaps via one vent from one side of the roof to another. This can be useful if your property is at risk of high condensation in the loft as air can pass through without affecting the circulation. The Sleek in-line design ultra low profile Klober KG9630 Uni-Line Slate Vent provides an amazing 6,500mm² of ventilation coverage and the pre-installed downpipe allows direct ventilation into your roof space. Furthermore the Inline design of the Klober KG9630 Uni-Line Slate Vent makes it virtually invisible in the roofline. In addition the Klober KG9630 Uni-Line Slate Vent can be connected directly to the flexipipe, without any additional adaptors required, for soil and ventilation pipes and mechanical extraction systems. In conclusion this saves material costs, labour expense and the time required for installation.

Created by one of Europe's prominent producers of roof ventilation products, this Nature Vent is fabricated from UV-stabilised material using design technology which has been developed, proven and tested throughout over 30 years of experience in this specialised area. A third option, useful for retrofits or when replacing fascia boards, are over fascia vents. These provide highly discreet ventilation, along with features designed to repel unwanted visitors such as birds and insects. These vents are made from small units that clip together and are nailed over the top of your fascia boards. Installing these roof vents is difficult, but highly effective when done right. Lap Vents

If you’re looking specifically for turbine vents, find out how many turbine vents you need using our guide. It can be difficult to say how many tile vents your home will require. In general however, two vents on the front of your roof and two at the rear should be a good starting point, perhaps also in conjunction with some ridge or lap vents. Ridge Vents

The best place to install tile or slate vents is just above your loft insulation, as the air here is able to draw out most of the moisture from the insulation without allowing heat to escape. To ensure that the placement of your vents is correct, you can poke a wire through your undersarking from inside your roof space to act as a marker. Once your marker is in place, simply cut an appropriately-sized hole in your undersarking where the rear of the vent will be laid and replace an existing roof tile with the vent. Roof tile vents can be universal and handy when incorporating ventilation into your roof. They are typically easy to replace and, due to their universal manufacturing, added to any brand of roof vent compatible with the tiles you choose. 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.

Lead Roof Vents

The vent turbine is a fantastic solution for those looking for a more eco-friendly source of ventilation. Not only does it use the wind to rotate the ventilated air in and out of the roof space, as a result, but this can also be fantastic for reducing your electrical costs. These natural slate vents can be used for the termination of soil vents or extractor fans (with optional flexi pipe) or to simply ventilate the roof void. Developed by one of Europe's foremost producers of roof ventilation products, Nature Vent is manufactured from UV stabilised material, using design technology developed proven and tested during more than 30 years of experience in this specialised field. Due to the incredible level of ventilation coverage the Klober KG9630 Uni-Line Slate Vent provides, it can massively reduce the build up of mould growth and structural damage in the roof space, caused by poorly ventilated roofs and damp.

Once you’ve got a clear idea of the ventilation your roof requires and how many roof vents you need, you can start looking into the types of roof vent that are available. One thing to remember is always to take care when working in loft spaces. Types of Roof Vents Here’s a selection of roof vents with pitch preferences we have available. Discover more via our wide range of ventilation, including specific sizes: 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.Eave vents are designed for low-level ventilation and are a common feature in new build properties. Eave vents are found along a home’s soffits, and it’s important to remember to give these a spring clean every now and then to clear away dirt, dust or debris. 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. A bonus fourth type of roof vent. Lap vents such as Manthorpe’s Felt Lap Vent are by far the easiest to install out of all the types of vents mentioned above. They can be easily slipped in between a horizontal overlap of your undersarking. This creates an air pathway which can help combat condensation build up. Initially, it is recommended that one vent be placed into the laps in every other rafter bay as close to the eaves as possible, but more can be installed in extreme circumstances. It should be noted that these vents alone will never provide adequate roof ventilation and should always be partnered with the options listed above to create and suitable amount of ventilation. How Much Do Roof Vents Cost? One issue that can arise is “ice damming”. Many homeowners and professionals who are familiar with these lofts issues know of this problem. Danelaw® offers a wide range of roofing ventilation products covering a wide range of tile types and construction details, from new build developments to refurbishment.

Ice damming’ occurs when heat from inside the attic combines with the sun’s heat. It melts the snow and ice on your heated roof, letting the water run to the edge of the roof and begins to refreeze. The first thing to know is that there are three main types of roof vent. These are: tile or slate vents, ridge vents and eaves vents (also known as soffit vents). This isn’t a matter of choosing one over the others, as most good ventilation systems will make use of multiple types of roof vent to ensure a strong circulation of clean air. Tile/Slate Vents 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. In very extreme conditions, such as experienced during the ‘Beast from the East’ in 2018, extremely low temperatures combined with fine dry powdery show can create a situation where small amounts may enter through the ventilator. It is not possible to produce a ventilator cost effectively that will allow the free flow of ventilating air and not the very fine snowflakes. 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.Regardless of the approach you’d like to take, it’s always best to err on the side of caution. If you install the wrong number of vents in your roof it’s far easier to add more than to remove ones that are already installed. No good quality roof vents leak when installed correctly. If a slate or tile vent is suspected of leaking, the circumstances should be considered. 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. 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.
