Ventilation is extremely important for roof space conversions.
Without adequate air movement, your attic is nothing more than a confined space which can cause serious problems both in summer and winter. The air which is trapped in the confined attic space almost always contains water vapor which will damage your home if unable to circulate. Problems include warped shingles, warped roof boards, mould and higher energy costs.
By allowing the air to circulate with quality ventilation, it achieves a balance or equilibrium with the air it is mixing with. The moisture content of the air will be balanced as well as the temperature. These are important considerations in attic spaces.
Proper attic ventilation can save homeowners energy, extend the life of roofing materials and reduce moisture problems like mold, mildew and some other types of water damage.
There are several options for providing ventilation. We can provide ventilation via Edmonds Windmaster turbines or the new Meastro powered ventilators from Edmunds.
Most conversion jobs feature at least 2 of this type of ventilator, either in the eave, storage or unused space or alternately in the living area. Units in the living area are provided with a closable internal vent to allow you complete control of the movement of air.
Managing the air movement in your roof space can have the effect of reducing your heating and cooling bills for the whole house being reduced.
