| Ventilation of the roof space helps to prevent the heat
building up in high summer temperatures and removes excess moisture
laden air which would otherwise condense in the cool of the night and
settling onto the ceiling possibly causing mould formation, this is
often a problem where bathroom exhaust fans discharge into the ceiling
space.
There are numerous designs of vents from lowline vents to roof,
ridge, gable or rotary vents. These are all readily available or can be
supplied to the customers requirements.
Bushfire regulations apply in some areas.
 Lo-Line Roof Vent
Lo-Line Roof Vents are
suitable where exhaust
fans are to be flued to the outside as in bathrooms, toilets and
kitchens. Lo-Line Roof Vents are
available with flexible ducting.
Bathroom Ventilation System
The Bathroom Ventilation
System uses the power of the wind
to constantly ventilate your bathroom and remove moist air & odours.
The frequent use of showers
and baths give rise to humid air which encourages the growth of mould and
mildew.
The TurboVentura
turns in the lightest of breezes to exhaust the air from your bathroom.
Electric exhaust fans
offer some assistance by removing moist air into roof spaces. However
these fans typically operate for short periods only.
Furthermore, they use energy to operate and can promote condensation
problems in roof spaces especially where sisalation has been used.
The 150mm diameter ceiling
register can be simply opened and closed to suit conditions.
The TurboVentura
provides
an inexpensive means of constantly removing moist or pungent odours from
bathrooms. The power of the wind is used to drive a roof top ventilator
which, in turn, exhausts bathroom air to the outside. The air in an average
9m2
room is changed approximately five times per hour.
The bathroom ventilation
system consists of the following components:
-
A TurboVentura 150mm
roof top ventilator.
-
Three metres of flexible
tubing to reach from the ventilator to the bathroom register.
-
A 150mm controllable
ceiling register.
 SupaVent
A new generation wind powered
ventilator which provides superior starting torque in light breezes.
Heat and moisture in roof spaces affect
personal comfort levels and the health of your home.
Heat. Roof space temperatures, during
the warmer months, can reach a staggering 60oC. Heat radiates downwards
causing discomfort in living areas and forces air conditioners to work
harder. Even the effectiveness of ceiling insulation can be reduced by
the additional heat load.
Moisture: During the colder months,
water vapour from showers and cooking is drawn into roof spaces and can
condense to form up to 12 litres of moisture per day. This can render
insulation ineffective, cause mildew on walls and ceilings and
contribute to a damp environment.
SupaVent, together with
under eave vents, reduces heat and moisture problems by ensuring adequate
roof space ventilation.
SupaVent has a 15 year
warranty and twin precision stainless steel bearings. Sturdy polycarbonate
construction, vertical vanes and permanently lubricated bearings ensure
long life and efficient performance.
Windmaster
The unique twin bearing assembly guarantees
long life and quiet operation.
Ventilation is simply the process of
replacing stale, hot air with clean, fresh air. This process makes your
life more comfortable in three ways:
- A more comfortable summer. Windmaster
extracts super heated attic air enabling it to be replaced by fresh
air through tiles or under eave vents. Roof space temperatures can be
reduced from 60oC to 45oC, in turn reducing the amount of heat
radiating into the home.
- Lower energy bills: Ducted air
conditioning systems operate far more efficiently with roof space
ventilation.
- Less roof space moisture: Up to 12
litres of moisture per day is drawn into roof spaces from shower and
kitchen fans. This can cause mould and mildew.
SolaCool
A solar powered ventilator which removes
the hot, humid air from your roof space. It provides relief from the
heat when you most need it.
How SolaCool works: In the early
morning, the solar panels become active to reduce heat before the
temperature rises. As the day progresses, the fans rotation rate increases
in proportion to the solar intensity of the sun. So, as the sun becomes
more intense on the solar panel, the rate of removal of hot air increases.
In winter, SolaCool performs sufficiently to remove moist air.
Acrylic Tile Lites and
Tile Vents
Clear acrylic tiles replace regular roof
tiles. They're easy to install and blend in completely with the existing
roof tiles to give a clean uninterrupted roof line.
This system total
eliminates the need for flashing.
There are over 21 tile profiles to choose
from, and are formed from UV stabilised acrylic sheet. |
