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

Product Information

It is possible for rainwater and condensation to run down the roofing underlay and drip though the opening cut into the underlay. This will usually be apparent on the outside of the vent, or on the underlay. To prevent this, the underlay should be cut and dressed around the opening to divert any rainwater or condensation around the opening in the roof. It is recommended that one ventilator panel is fitted between each rafter in the lowest underlay lap above the level of the insulation layer in the loft on both sides of the roof (see product brochure fig. 1). If you are suffering from condensation in your loft it will be a “cold roof”. This is the most common type of roof with a loft or attic. I've also noticed in some places the existing insulation is quite flat, though I haven't noticed any really damp. Would it still be ok to top this up or would it need replaced?

Normal air gets warm and rises. It filters through the ceiling, getting warmer as it passes through warm rooms and eventually gets into the loft. The loft is usually colder than the house rooms and as soon as the rising warm air hits a colder surface the vapour immediately turns to water.

There is, in fact, nothing else quite like it!

It can be hard to tell if it’s condensation or the roof is leaking, particularly as it can be astounding how much moisture can condense in the right (or should we say, wrong) conditions. You can find many roof tile vents here, including double Roman, roll and more. Each offers a style of ventilation to suit as much or as little as you need. Ice damming’ occurs when heat from inside the attic combines with the sun’s heat. It melts the snow and ice on your heated roof, letting the water run to the edge of the roof and begins to refreeze. A dry ridge vent system is mandatory for all new roof installations in the UK. They are installed without the use of mortar. A mortar is a wet ridge used to support this type of vent. I just bought a load of 200mm insulation to top up the loft to see if that would help with the problem. I cleared everything out yesterday and when I went to start rolling it out today I have noticed that the roof is covered in beads of condensation and some of the wood is damp. I'm assuming from the sub zero temperatures last night as there wasnt any rain.

Simple for anyone to fit from inside the loft by simply inserting between the overlaps of underlay. 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.
