Refurbishment ventilator for existing roof spaces to increase the level of ventilation in a roof space by separating lap joints in the roofing felt/membrane. Also a remedial solution for combating condensation in cold roof voids and can be fitted retrospectively after increased loft insulation.
- Discrete profile design
- Easy installation
- 2 clips to secure each unit in place
- Manufactured to British Standards: BS EN 9001 and BS EN 14001
- Injection Moulded recycled Polypropylene
- White
- Allowing ventilation between roofing felt/membranes is secondary to eaves and/or ridge ventilation
- Lap vent simply slots between roof felt/membranes laps
- Position the lap vent clips facing down to hang on the edge of the roofing felt/membrane when in position
- Install one lap vent into every alternate rafter space at low level
- If further ventilation is required, install one lap vent into every rafter space at low level and/or into lap joints at higher levels
- The lap vents should be fitted to both sides of the roof space in order to provide cross-flow ventilation
- Installing lap vents alone will not meet minimum roof ventilation requirements. For guidance and regulations on roof space ventilation please refer to British Standard BS5250
- Calculate quantity of lap vents based on the level of ventilation required
- For typical installation allow 1 lap vent per alternate rafter spacing at low level
- Increase ventilation by allowing additional lap vents at high level
- For maximum ventilation allow lap vents to every rafter spacing
