New heating systems, increased insulation and double glazing lead to warmer air temperatures in buildings and colder roof voids, increasing the risk of condensation in the roofspace.
The Glidevale range of slate and tile ventilators provides one simple method of introducing roof ventilation with minimal disruption to occupants.
Glidevale is offering a free site survey service, to assess the requirements for each property in terms of ventilation, and enable any work to be integrated into the upgrade/ refurbishment programme.
The comprehensive survey includes an in-depth assessment of the roof covering, analysis of requirements, and specification of appropriate ventilation in line with all regulatory requirements including the type and quantity of each vent for each property.
Glidevale provides the widest range of slate and tile ventilators on the market, profile- and colour-matched to existing roof slates and tiles, including weathered and discontinued designs.
They are the only complete range of slate and tile ventilators to be AA fire rated, enabling unrestricted use on the roof, regardless of proximity of neighbouring properties.
Nick Beswick, Glidevale Sales Director, comments, "It is difficult for clients and maintenance staff to know every roof tile and slate made, and understand the requirements for ventilation of the roof space".
"It makes sense for housing organisations to delegate this element to the experts in the field, saving themselves time and money on the original assessment, and eliminating the risk of potentially costly remedial work curing a roofspace condensation problem.".
