It's no secret that Queenslanders love their homes. We're proud of our state and want our homes to reflect that. But we often need to give it a second thought regarding roof ventilation.
Roof ventilation is important for several reasons. It helps to keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, and it also helps to reduce condensation and moisture build-up.
There are several ways to ventilate your roof, and the best option depends on your home type and the climate you live in.
If you live in a tropical climate, you'll need to ensure your roof ventilation is adequate to cope with the high humidity levels. Roof ventilation must be sufficient in a temperate environment to cope with the changing seasons.
The most common type of roof ventilation is through the use of whirlybirds. Whirlybirds are small vents installed on the roof and work by spinning in the wind. This action creates a small amount of suction which helps to draw the hot air out of the roof cavity.
Whirlybirds are an effective way to ventilate your roof, but they have some limitations. They only work when the wind blows, so they don't help on still days. They also don't work well in areas with trees or other buildings nearby, as wind disruption can affect the roof vent.
Another option for roof ventilation is to install a solar-powered vent. Solar-powered vents draw the hot air out of the roof cavity and then use the sun's energy to power a small fan. This type of vent is more expensive to install, but it will work even on calm days and in areas with trees or other buildings nearby.
If you need help determining what type of roof ventilation is best for your home, it's a good idea to speak to a Sky High Roofing professional. We will be able to assess your home and climate and advise you on the best option for your situation.
We had our tiled roof replaced with Colorbond by the team at Sky High Roofing. Very professional job, we were always kept updated on progress and site was left very clean. I highly recommend the team.
I would highly recommend Sky High Roofing for any work you need doing. From the first phone call to the roof being finished, they were professional, did what they said they would and always very clear in the processes and payment options. The actual roofing team were great to have on site. They were happy and friendly and just got on with their work. I was very surprised in todays world of unreliable trades to find a business that was so great to deal with.
Skyhigh managed a complex project liaising with other trades efficiently & expertly. Their professionalism, integrity and ability to see things from the customers viewpoint were greatly appreciated.
