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
