Most homeowners understand the importance of insulation, after all it is the main line of defence against thermal transfer from the outside. However, even the best insulation won’t work as effectively as it should without the installation of proper roof ventilation.
Roof ventilation works by allowing fresh air to enter the roof space, removing humidity, and helping to keep temperatures regulated in both warm and cold climates. This improved air quality can help prevent mould growth and mildew build-up, as well as reduce energy costs by maintaining a more consistent temperature throughout the year.
Calidad Industries manufactures, supplies, and installs modern skylights and innovative roof ventilation systems that significantly improve energy efficiency. Read on for more information on roof ventilation and why it is so important.
Temperature Regulation
Without proper ventilation, heat can build up in the roof cavity making your home uncomfortable and potentially increasing your energy bills as you rely more heavily on air conditioning systems.
Ventilation such as extraction fans and whirlybirds help to ensure your insulation can protect against heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. If you would like a more comfortable environment all year round and better energy efficiency, it’s vital to invest in high quality roof ventilation systems.
Moisture Control
Without adequate airflow, moisture can easily accumulate in your roof space, and this can lead to pooling of water, as well as mould and mildew growth. Not only can this cause significant health problems to your family, but it can also cause extensive damage to your home’s structure. Ventilation helps to keep the air circulating, limiting moisture that can affect your home.
Improved Energy Efficiency
A well-ventilated home is an energy efficient home! Proper ventilation helps to keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, reducing your reliance on air conditioning and heating systems. By lowering your usage of electric or gas heating and cooling, you will see a significant reduction in your utility bills and have the satisfaction of knowing that you are reducing your carbon footprint and doing your bit for the planet.
Healthier Air Quality
A lack of airflow can lead to a build-up of dust, pollutants, and other allergens in your home. It can also lead to an excessively humid roof space, which as mentioned earlier, creates an ideal breeding ground for mould and mildew. Quality roof ventilation systems bring fresh air from the outside into your home, this removes excess heat and moisture from the roof space, reducing harmful pathogens from the air you breathe.
Whether you are building, renovating, or simply looking for ways to improve energy efficiency in your home, roof ventilation is an essential element that every savvy homeowner should consider.
