10 x Felt Lap Vents Prevents Loft roof Condensation. Attic Space Ventilation

Product Information

Most homes will have all the features to reduce moisture getting into the loft, but we have to accept that some will get in there.

Whilst ventilation is important to help keep a house cool in the summer, other factors such as tiles, insulation, colour and sun exposure are equally important. We had a combi-boiler installed when we moved in (that was a fiasco in itself as the plumber we used turned out to be a total cowboy, leaving the job half finished with several serious (illegal) issues. Pictures show that clearly - day 1 of installing these vents with some very wet areas on the north side of roof and same side in 4 days, almost completely dry. Please don’t ignore any issues you may have as they’ll only get worse (and more expensive to fix) the longer you leave them.Loft ventilation comes in many forms but the most common in the UK and Ireland are eaves vents and tile vents. The product will not meet the requirement for roof ventilation solely on its own, it will only provide airflow through the felt laps.

Condensation will be there on cold days because water condenses when the warm moist air touches a cold surface. Some say that the vents have saved them an absolute fortune and provided an entire additional floor on their home. Despite featuring extractor fans in kitchens and particularly bathrooms which create the most moisture that disposes of some of this moisture outside, inevitably some will get through the ceiling or rise through the loft hatch if it does not have a good seal and get into the loft. Optimum ventilation is not usually achieved through a single solution but instead by harnessing the benefits of several measures, including some of the following eaves vents, soffit vents, dry ridge (mandatory for new roof installations), fascia vents and tile vents. Ridge tile vents are placed on the ridge, at the very peak of the roof to allow warm air to escape rather than condense in the roof space.Usually fitted retrospectively to properties with additional loft insulation recently installed, however, the Felt Lap Vent will help to combat the problem of condensation build-up in any roof space with a lapped felt/membrane construction.

The condensation will only form when the temperature in the loft drops so it may not be obvious that the lifestyle of the occupants is contributing to the problem. He worked for many years as a roofing contractor and has installed many types of loft vents to cure condensation.

Solution: I have cut the vents in half before and only put half a vent into the gap, it then fitted easily. Solution: I’ve used a fine saw to cut the vents down to size, they then fitted into the gap between the roof rafters.

No tools or specialist equipment are needed to fit these vents, and you don’t need access to the exterior of the roof either. They may use a number of different methods to work out whether multiple devices appear to be used by you, including matching information about your devices, browsing activity and geo-location. Whatever type of ventilation your loft has, or type of vent you intend to add, it’s important to ensure your roof has adequate cross ventilation to ensure the wind draught has a separate entrance and exit point. If you’ve got condensation issues in your loft it’s now relatively easy to resolve by adding additional loft ventilation.
