Concrete Ventilation Tiles

ZM, Glenmore Park NSW

Living in the Western suburbs of Sydney in a Two storey home with black roof tiles, we have always found that of an afternoon in the hotter months that the upstairs floor always traps the heat. Walking up the stairs you could always feel the heat worsening as you kept climbing. The upstairs was very hot and unbearable at times requiring the air conditioner to be put to immediate use.

We have found that since installing the tile ventilators that on the hotter days we did not require the air conditioner to be on, and just by slightly opening the windows when we get home, it keeps the atmosphere upstairs pleasant. The upstairs on hotter days is much much cooler and fresh when we first arrive home.

Before we installed the tile ventilators, standing in our bathroom on a hot day being "6 ft. 3", I could feel the heat from the roof coming down through the bathroom exhaust fan. Now I don't notice it at all.

In regard to the photos inside the ceiling, it was 4.30pm on a 32 degree day and I was sitting quite comfortably in the roofspace in order to get the photos, something I would not have been able to do before.

I would recommend this type of roof ventilation system as we can see the immediate difference it has made to our house and living conditions.

How They Work

With these ‘ventilation’ tiles installed, the hot Roof Space air is now ventilated giving you a more comfortable and pleasant home or building all year round.

• Sarking is installed in roofs as a thermal barrier to reduce heat entering, but it is an insulation barrier containing air in the roof space.
• Ceiling insulation is intended to reduce the passing of heat or cool, by conduction, between the living spaces and roof space.
• When ceiling insulation is installed in a roof with sarking, the roof space temperature increase by up to 20 degrees Celcius!
• Sarking and Ceiling insulation perform the same function of insulation in the walls, top and bottom of ovens and refrigerators.
• When air remains trapped in the roof space in Summer with nowhere to escape, the air gets hotter and hotter as with an oven.
• When air remains trapped in the roof space in Winter with nowhere to escape, the air gets colder and colder as in a refrigerator.
• When air is trapped the roof space in Winter, condensation is created with direct water damage and fungi grows (read Article above).
• Convection is air movement created when hot air rises and can escape when cooler air can enter.
• As this product works because of the Convection Principle, unlike traditional protruding 'birds', these work when there is no breeze!
• The Venturi Principle is that when there is a breeze for example, passes over an opening it draws air from that opening.
• The'ventilation' tiles are installed in pairs, one vent tile is for the air to enter the roof space, the other is where the air can leave.
• A series of pairs of 'inlet' and 'outlet' ventilation tiles are simply installed with one side a few tiles below the ridge capping and on the other side just a few tiles above the gutter.
• With sufficient pairs of Concrete or Terracotta 'ventilation' tiles installed, your home or building will be more comfortable significantly reducing your energy bills

The Benefits

Installing an appropriate number of pairs of these 'ventilation' tiles, based on the size and configuration of your roof will:

• Silently keep your home or building cooler in Summer and Warmer in Winter.
• Keep your hidden roof space drier in Winter with less damaging condensation being formed.
• Reduce your need to cool or heat your home or building, thus providing real savings in energy bills.
• Reduce your consumption of matters that cause 'green house gases' to be produced.
• Contribute practically and positively to reducing global warming.
• Experience maintenance-free and energy consumption free benefits as they have no moving parts.
• Enjoy a virtually inconspicuous solution. They can be powder coated to match the colour of your roof.
• Using a special Adaptor, connect the flexible ducts from your kitchen and bathrooms vent systems.
• In Bush Fire prone areas they can be used with the optional Stainless Steel mesh to be fitted over vent outlet.
• If you have or plan to install air conditioning, these 'ventilation' products will help reduce your need to use your system. Also imaging how much more taxing it is for a ducted air conditioner in the Roof Space to be trying to work in a hot oven environment in Summer or in an Ice Box in Winter. How much more electricity will it require to operate? With electricity costs to rise by 30% in the years ahead, this is a wise investment which will save you dollars and also contribute to reducing green gas emissions.
• By installing a few pairs of these ventilation roofing products, the chances of fungi developing in your roof space are significantly reduced. Additionally your home will be even cooler in Summer and warmer in Winter. In winter there will be less potential for condensation to build up to damage your home.
