Here’s a selection of roof vents with pitch preferences we have available. Discover more via our wide range of ventilation, including specific sizes: A bonus fourth type of roof vent. Lap vents such as Manthorpe’s Felt Lap Vent are by far the easiest to install out of all the types of vents mentioned above. They can be easily slipped in between a horizontal overlap of your undersarking. This creates an air pathway which can help combat condensation build up. Initially, it is recommended that one vent be placed into the laps in every other rafter bay as close to the eaves as possible, but more can be installed in extreme circumstances. It should be noted that these vents alone will never provide adequate roof ventilation and should always be partnered with the options listed above to create and suitable amount of ventilation. How Much Do Roof Vents Cost? Wall vents that provide air to a room with heat-producing appliances (e.g., gas appliances or central heating boilers). A third option, useful for retrofits or when replacing fascia boards, are over fascia vents. These provide highly discreet ventilation, along with features designed to repel unwanted visitors such as birds and insects. These vents are made from small units that clip together and are nailed over the top of your fascia boards. Installing these roof vents is difficult, but highly effective when done right. Lap Vents

Ridge vents can be installed by securing them to your roof ridge above suitably cut roofing felt or undersarking. These vents provide an impressive level of ventilation, but can almost never be used as a singular vent, but rather as an exit for rising air. Be aware that it is possible to install too many ridge vents however, particularly when it is very windy. This is because for homes with many ridge vents partnered with large eaves vents (a common occurrence in new builds), too much air can enter your loft space, potentially blowing your insulation about at the edges and causing damage. Due to the incredible level of ventilation coverage the Klober KG9630 Uni-Line Slate Vent provides, it can massively reduce the build up of mould growth and structural damage in the roof space, caused by poorly ventilated roofs and damp. The range is also entirely British manufactured, as are the majority of our products; proudly supporting British manufacturing and minimising risk in the supply chain and in your project schedules. These natural slate vents can be used for the termination of soil vents or extractor fans (with optional flexi pipe) or to simply ventilate the roof void. Developed by one of Europe's foremost producers of roof ventilation products, Nature Vent is manufactured from UV stabilised material, using design technology developed proven and tested during more than 30 years of experience in this specialised field.The lap vent is another easy solution for ventilation problems. Especially in poorly vented areas of the property. Though commonly used on older roofs with bitumen sarking felt (waterproofing layers), they can also be fitted to roof membranes if needed. Wind tunnelling is when the air will through one vent and out through another. Perhaps via one vent from one side of the roof to another. This can be useful if your property is at risk of high condensation in the loft as air can pass through without affecting the circulation. The number of eave or soffit vents you’ll need will depend upon your desired airflow and local building requirements. However, taking Manthorpe’s Circular Soffit Vent as an example, to achieve 10,000mm2/m of free airflow, they should be fitted at 200mm centres. Slate roof vent tiles are also ideal for easy installation and the range of designs available. They can blend in nicely with slate tiles. So, if you would like something that suits the slate-style roof, consider these. In very extreme conditions, such as experienced during the ‘Beast from the East’ in 2018, extremely low temperatures combined with fine dry powdery show can create a situation where small amounts may enter through the ventilator. It is not possible to produce a ventilator cost effectively that will allow the free flow of ventilating air and not the very fine snowflakes.

Creating a high-standard roof ventilation system is a vital factor in the longevity of your roof and many structural components within your home. Whilst this will require an initial investment of time and money, installing adequate roof vents into your property will pay dividends in years to come. With the question of cost in mind, we’ve listed some of our most popular products below to give you a general idea of how much high-quality roof vents will cost. This slate vent can be adapted for both soil ventilation and mechanical extraction if you wish. You can convert it by attaching the HDSPA soil pipe adaptor. Created by one of Europe's prominent producers of roof ventilation products, this Nature Vent is fabricated from UV-stabilised material using design technology which has been developed, proven and tested throughout over 30 years of experience in this specialised area.

Find the Right Vent Tile for Your Roof

This type of vent may also be referred to as an eaves vent. These vents can be found installed in many modern houses and are typically built into the soffit. The result is continuous 10 – 25 mm ventilation at a low level around the eaves of a property.
