Page 4 - Pitched Roof Ventilation
Pitched roofs are the most common roof structure worldwide, and they require effective ventilation to maintain roof health and indoor air quality. Beyond traditional ventilation tiles, there are several components within a pitched roof that contribute to proper airflow. Here's a breakdown of the different pitched roofing ventilation components and how they work:
Eave Ventilation: Eave vents are installed along the lower edge of the roof to provide continuous low-level ventilation. They allow fresh air to enter the roof space, promoting airflow throughout the entire roof structure.
Ridge Ventilation: Located at the apex of the roof, ridge vents offer continuous high-level ventilation. Positioned at the highest point of the roof, they allow warm, moist air to escape, balancing the air movement and reducing the risk of condensation.
Lead Roof Ventilation: While lead roof ventilation is often customized by professional lead roofers, you can also find pre-made lead ventilation solutions available here. These components are ideal for specialized lead roofing projects where durability and precision are key.
Roof Turbines: Roof turbines are an eco-friendly option for ventilating pitched roofs, utilizing wind energy to drive airflow. They help expel warm, stagnant air from the roof space, increasing energy efficiency and reducing moisture buildup.
