Universal Tile Ventilators
DO YOU HAVE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS
- Temperature problems
- Heat is unbearable
- Summer and winter condensation problems
- Are you losing real money on energy costs – excessive cooling bills – excessive heating bills
- Sick building syndrome
WHAT HAPPENS -
SUMMER HEAT, UNBEARABLE TEMPERATURE PROBLEMS:- The temperature in roof spaces can reach in excess of 60˚C. This heat radiates downwards causing discomfort in the living areas and many sleepless nights and massive cooling bills. We have all felt this.
CONDENSATION PROBLEMS – During winter and colder months normal household activities can wreak havoc in a roof space and ultimately a roof. Showers, laundry, dishwashing and cooking all generate moisture that can condense to form 12 litres of moisture a day this can cause damage to your roof timbers, dry rot, ceiling damage, moisture soaked insulation becomes ineffective, a breeding ground for termites, mould, mildew, fungus, bacteria, dustmite etc all these problems can lead to Sick Building Syndrome. All these problems can be going on only to be detected when it’s a huge costly problem

The Smoothline Ventilator for corrugated colourbond roofs.
Suits any roof pitch from 12˚ up
UNOBTRUSIVE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
The easiest and most cost effective answer to roof ventilation, providing effective ventilation to the roof cavity all year round.
LETS YOUR HOUSE BREATHE
Beats the summer heat and solves the winter condensation problems, provides entry and exit points within the roof for hot, moist and/or stale air to evacuate the roof cavity to the outside atmosphere.
STATIC
Has no moving parts, uses no energy. Powered by natural convection currents, air flow currents and the venturi effect.
HOW DO THEY WORK
An opening is cut into the roof sheet from the bottom line of the ridgecapping, the ventilator slips up under the ridgecapping and has an opening underneath which aligns perfectly with the opening in the roof sheet to allow air to enter and evacuate the roof space and is fixed to the roof sheet with rivetts or screws to completion, another ventilator is fixed on the opposite side below the ridgecapping in the opposing position.
This completes the system which allows free air flow currents to enter either ventilator and hotter stale air to evacuate either ventilator via convection currents air flow currents and the venturi effect.
HOW MANY DO YOU NEED
This is generally determined by the ridgelines of your roof where the heat rises to. If you have one ridgeline up to 8 metres you will need 2 ventilators (one system). If you have two ridgelines you will need 4 ventilators (2 systems). If you have 3 ridgelines you will need 6 ventilators (3 systems). However in saying that you can have a huge house coming up to a small ridgeline and you will only need one system. Placement can also change with the configuration of your roof.
If you need to you can email us your roof plan or do a rough mud map the approximate size of your house and we will map out your ventilator placement and amount of vents you need.
CAN I INSTALL THEM MYSELF – YES
We have comprehensive instructions on our website, when we send our products out full instructions come with the product.
However if you cannot install them yourself and you do not want to get on a roof, any handyman or plumber can install them for you.
HOW DO THEY LOOK WHEN INSTALLED
They look great and actually give the roof more character similar to a low profile bonnet scoop on a quick car. Being tapered on three sides making an aerodynamic look and design. You don’t see much but what you see looks and works excellent. There is no cowling or pipe protruding above the roofline, the ventilator fits flush to the corrugations of the roofing becoming part of the roof covering.
DURABLE AND STRONG BUILD QUALITY
Made from strong 0.55 zincalume coated Bluescope steel laser cut to perfect accuracy.
HANDLING MOTHER NATURE
As well as working exceptionally well have been constructed with mother nature in mind. Three sides have been aerodynamically tapered so high winds and storm cells will pass over the ventilator making them the best ventilation system in high wind and tropical cyclone areas. The tapering of the ventilator leaves no possibility for debris collection such as leaves, twigs etc. A nice clean almost flush unit only allowing fresh air in and stale moist air out. Conforms to extreme bushfire code BAL-FZ AS 3959-2009.

We have had the Universal Tile Ventilators in our roof for three years and found the difference inside our house both summer and winter considerably more comfortable. I have since recommended them to my son and friends which have likewise had them installed. I would recommend this product to others.

Before we had the Universal Tile Ventilator System installed in our roof the air conditioning ran constantly, we were obviously continually running the air conditioner to fight off the heat that built up in the roof space. Now thanks to the Universal Tile Ventilator System continually removing the built up heat in the roof we are only running the air conditioner to cool the house. We have had the Universal Tile Ventilator System installed in our roof for two years, our air conditioning is now switching off when they acquired temperature is achieved and only restarting when necessary. This is a real energy saving product.

Your ventilators are excellent by allowing the air flow through the roof, when we get the sea breeze in the evening with just a couple of fans it is as if we have air conditioning. Good on you for a cool product.

I have had Universal Tile Ventilators fixed into my roof for four seasons now. Having a two storey house that was unbearably hot in summer upstairs and unbearably cold in winter downstairs before installing the vents. I now find that the whole house is reasonably comfortable for all four seasons, the top floor in summer is much cooler no more sleepless nights. The top and bottom floor are both much more comfortable in winter with my heating costs being reduced and the rest of the year is fantastic, what a product should be in every house in Australia.

Dear Mr Baker, I have been asked to provide a product endorsement on your universal tile ventilator system. These ventilators have been installed in my house at Deakin, ACT where I have a flat, terracotta, pantile roof which in itself was a very difficult roofing system and was laid on structural flooring that was insulated. However, because this reduced the potential for roof ventilation, we had to come up with a system to ventilate the roof and allow condensation build up to disperse. Your ventilator system has proved entirely effective and has provided the necessary solution in a very difficult environment. The alternative was ugly, protruding ventilators which would have been an unacceptable protrusion on the roof line. I am delighted to say we have achieved the necessary ventilation with your system and the ventilators are not noticeable on the roof unless they are pointed out to someone, a terrific solution. They have now been in place for eight years and we have had no trouble whatsoever with them. I have no difficulty in you using this letter to support your product and, if any potential customer or client wants to take this matter up with me, I would be very happy to speak to them. Yours sincerely, Terry Snow

For many years, during the summer, we wished for a “lid” in our tiled roof so the heat could escape. We were delighted when we attended an Eco Expo at the Canberra Convention Centre in April 2008 and met Kevin Baker of Universal Tile Ventilators. We made a booking for an inspection, and quotation, at our home in suburban Canberra. Immediately after installation in July, we enjoyed the benefits of the Ventilators - but not as we had originally expected! In Canberra, the weather was now cold, but our home was markedly warmer and cosier. Our winter gas bill for heating was much reduced. As the summer months brought hot days and nights, we were surprised at the temperature differential between outdoors and indoors. It was as though we had air conditioning. Kevin had originally indicated there would be a marked difference both in summer and winter – he was entirely correct. Everything he claimed, has occurred. The tiles fit so neatly into our existing older style cement tiled roof it is almost impossible to see them. The fact that the tiles work simply using air currents, have no working parts, nor require maintenance, and are so effective, make them a very desirable and highly recommendable product. Much more so than rotary type ventilators with moving parts. We have visited a large powder-coating factory near Canberra and have seen first hand how large, industrial sized ventilators have revolutionized working conditions, lowered costs and made the enterprise more efficient. We believe that fitting Universal Tile Ventilators should be mandatory in all new dwellings and retrofitted to existing buildings. They work! We have no hesitation in recommending them.

November 2008 Brisbane was hit by the largest storm cell in 100 years and had a follow up cell 5 days later. Complete houses were blown down, many roofs were blown off, protrusions through roofs and whirlybirds were blown out of roofs everywhere the centre of the storm cell and the worst hit area was the Gap. Sara from Habitat Hardware, Brisbane said great news the Smoothline Ventilators that had just recently been installed on the house at the Gap were still firmly in place and the house and roof received no damage.

Sala Homes Sustainable Homes, Brisbane had independent testing done to two of their houses to show how effective they were. Tests were carried out on their efficiency and how cool and warm they were. Testing done by M.A.B.E.L Deacon Universities building and architectural mobile testing unit “The roof ventilation system was two whirlybirds. The manufacturers belief is that the wind turbines will expel air, however do not move air, but are instead moved by air. This is a fundamental fact not understood by manufacturers of these products. Tests on the ventilators fitted to the houses show approximately a flow velocity of 0.1 meters per second which is considered still air in ventilation terms, which is totally inadequate to remove any heat load from the roof space. A whirlybird does not move air, but is instead moved by air. In conclusion a more effective roof cavity ventilation system requires further exploration”. The solution for Sala Homes was the Smoothline Ventilation System which has been used with great results ever since.

Lives in an extreme bushfire area, virtually in the middle of a forest, the builders would not install whirlybirds or eaves vents because of the house location. He found the best product for his application was the Smoothline Ventilator System. After installing the Smoothline Ventilator System he was very happy with the results. He says his house is 50 to 60% more comfortable particularly at night, a very happy customer.

We have a very large tiled roof which made our house extremely hot in summer, 10 UTV’s were recommended, after the installation we found the house to be much cooler in summer and remarkably much warmer in winter also before the installation of the UTV’s there used to be condensation all around the steel window frames which collected on the window sill in most of the rooms, this condensation has now disappeared. This was real value for money we are very satisfied.

We had Universal Tile Ventilators installed in our roof. They work really well. We also had a Tile Ventilator Duct connected to our kitchen range hood ducting, this was the best thing I ever did, my wife now allows me to smoke next to the range hood the smoke is sucked up and out into the outside atmosphere through the tile ventilator, fantastic in Canberra’s winter brilliant idea.

These smoothline ventilators for corrugated roofs are absolutely amazing. After removing the whirly birds that did not work, and were quiet ugly we had the smoothlines fitted to our roof. The results were amazing, nice and cool in summer, warm in winter and removed our mould and mildew problem. Very happy customer.

Since installing the Universal Tile Ventilators my house has been so much cooler in summer saving electricity costs on running my air conditioner as I don’t have to have it on all the time and also saving on heating bills in the winter, amazingly the house is just so much warmer. Thank you for such a wonderful invention.

I was a bit skeptical at first that your product would do what you said it would but having the tile ventilators installed for over a year now I am absolutely convinced that this is a fantastic invention and every house in Australia should have them installed. I have monitored my heating and cooling bills and you would not believe the difference that the ventilators have made to these bills. I am now totally convinced and ecstatic that I had them installed in my home and saving a huge amount on my cooling and heating bills.

Living in Sydney's western suburbs summer is unbearable, we used to have our air-conditioning timed to come on around 2pm so the house would have cooled down by 6 o'clock when we came home from work. Since installing the Universal Tile Ventilating system, we turn it on when we get home and we only need it on for a couple of hours. Thanks for a great product that really works and saves energy and money.

Having a two storey extension above our house during the hotter months of summer by 11 am the banister railing was hot to touch, all the furniture upstairs was hot to touch and we used to sleep downstairs in the summer as upstairs was unbearable, just walking up six stairs would take your breath away. After installing the Universal Tile Ventilators the railing and the furniture were no longer hot. We now sleep upstairs all year round. I highly recommend this product.
