Heat
Trapped heat in you roof space can effect your
whole home!
Heat penetrates through your roof space then heats up the ceiling which inturn heats up your living space.
Not only is this very uncomfortable for the inhabitants it also becomes very expensive as your air-conditioning has to work harder to cool the internal air.
Powered roof ventilation works on hot still days when you really need it, by expelling hot air from your roof rather than relying on wind or a turbine (spinning top ventilators) to remove the trapped heat.
At Ultrafan we have designed a low voltage roof exhaust fan; it runs off a thermostat that turns the fan on and off as required. Having this thermostat means during winter it won’t pull out the heat when you want it their like turbines do.
Damp
Sub-floor damp is very common and when not treated correctly could have a very damaging effect on your home.
When the ground beneath your home is damp it relaces moisture, mould spores and smells into the air. If this air is trapped beneath your floor it will be evaporated through your timber floor into the living space.
This evaporation can cause a number of problems to occur;
- Timber floors to warp, bow and rot
- Mould growth on furniture, clothes, shoes, walls
ceilings and in cupboards
- Damp musty smells
- Implications for asthma and allergy sufferers
- Termites love damp dark sub-floor areas to
breed and build their tracks up into your home
to feed on the timber in your floors walls and
roof.
All of these problems can be very expensive to
fix and may adversely affect the value of your
property.
We have designed a range of low voltage fans
and matching passive vents to create airflow for
sub-floor area. The fans run off a timer normally
9am to 9pm this creates a constant cross flow
under the floor and exhausts out the damp
trapped air.
