Roof Ventilation by Skylights WA

An efficient solution to improve the air quality in your home

We install solar powered, wind powered and electrical ventilation solutions in homes and businesses across Perth and South West WA.

Are you frustrated trying to control the air quality of your home, only to be left with inconsistent temperatures and excessive power bills?

Is the air in your home stuffy and stale but you can’t seem to keep warm in the winter? Do you wish there was an efficient solution to keep your home more comfortable?

There is no denying that the Australian sun is unrelenting. The harsh rays can heat roof spaces incredibly quickly, making it uncomfortable to remain in our homes without cooling. Once the roof super heats and hot air fills the roof space, it pushes its way down into your home. The result is uncomfortable rooms on the West side, particularly in second storeys.

When this happens, our first instinct is to turn on the air-conditioning and crank the fans. As the temperature continues to rise, we push the AC to work harder and with this, the electricity bill rises!

Roof ventilation can materially offset this process, helping to efficiently and effectively manage in-roof temperatures up to 25 degrees lower than a roof which is unventilated!

Key Considerations for Roof Ventilation

Location

The location of your roof vent can impact its performance. The best position for the roof depends on its energy source. Solar powered is best on North or West roof elevation for example. We’ll help you identify the best location for your roof vent and install it professionally.

Size

The size of your home and roof will influence the required size of your roof ventilation system.

Power

Powering the roof extraction vent can make your system more effective. There are a few ways to power the roof vent including solar and electricity. Some solar powered vents are materially more powerful than an unpowered vent!

How does Roof Ventilation Work?

Roof ventilation enhances efficiency, supports temperature control, improves air freshness, and reduces moisture. It works by exchanging the air in your roof space- old hot air out and cooler air in!

During warm weather, the roof ventilation lets fresh cool air into the roof cavity from the outside while extracting the warm air out.
