“Air exchange between interior spaces and the outdoor atmosphere can occur due to a variety
of processes, including wind-driven flows and natural convection-driven flows.”

INTRODUCING
THE
UNIVERSAL TILE VENTILATOR
Unobtrusive, Highly Effective
Universal Tile Ventilators will allow heat to exit the roof space in nil breeze situations through natural convection flow, however, also takes advantage of free air across the plane of the roof.
- Air is induced by natural convection and free flow rather than by mechanical means.
- Provides entry and exit point for hot moist and/or stale air to the outside atmosphere through convection and free air flow.
- At the height of summer a venturi effect is caused between the vents due to increased expansion of heated air forced through the outlet vents drawing cool air through the inlet vents.
WHY VENTILATE?
Proper roof space ventilation is a serious issue that should always be considered.
When a house has been properly ventilated, a positive airflow is created which allows the house to breath and helps prevent moisture build-up.
Normal household activities can wreak havoc in an roof space and ultimately, a roof. Showers, laundry, dishwashing and cooking all generate moisture that can damage insulation and rafters during winter. Summer heat build-up in the roof space promotes premature aging of roofing materials. All of which could shorten roof life. For maximum roof protection, a well-ventilated roof space is the key.
In warm weather, proper ventilation prevents the roof space becoming a hot box that spills unwanted heat down through the ceiling into the living area (even if the roof space is insulated).
In cold weather, proper ventilation helps prevent moisture from condensing on the insulation, structural wood, tiles or roof deck. Moisture-soaked insulation becomes ineffective. Thereby causing excess energy usage. Condensation on wood leads to rotting and expensive repairs. While those are the most important reasons for proper ventilation, they aren’t the only ones.
Excess moisture in the home causes mildew and plaster damage.
Balanced airflow keeps roof space temperatures from reaching extremes. Vents allow outside air to move through the roof space. The result is a cooler, drier roof space, which means a longer lasting roof.
UNOBTRUSIVE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
The Universal Tile Vent incorporates the external dimensions of the modern concrete tiLe and most older concrete and Terrecotta tiles, with configuration of a flat shingLe tile with interlocking
side laps.
There is no cowling or hood protruding above the plane of the roof tine, the vent sits flush to the exposed dimensions of the host tile.
When the Universal Tile Vent is fixed within the field of the roof tile covering the ventiLating system is almost invisible.
HOW IT WORKS
The Universal Tile Vent is placed in the fourth Lower course of a tile roof to allow free air flow to enter the roof cavity and one is placed on third course from the top of the opposing side to allow hot air or moisture to evacuate the roof cavity. The vent provides effective naturaL ventiLation removing the hot air trapped in the roof cavity in summer and the condensation problems of winter.
Beats the summer heat & the winter condensation problems.
