Whether during renovation or when installing a new roof, ventilation work ensures that the roof is well ventilated. If your roof is recent and has been installed by a professional who knows his trade, it is normally well ventilated. Otherwise, work can easily be done to remedy the problem. You should know that the ventilation of the roof is done through the space between the roof and the insulation. This void under the roof located between the battens (or the under-roof screen) and the top of the insulation allows good ventilation of the roof. But this vacuum is not enough. Elements must be put in place to ensure the ventilation of the roof. Ventilation of tiled roof If you have a tiled roof, be aware that rounded tiles generally allow air to circulate. It will, therefore, not be necessary to add another ventilation system if your roof is equipped with this type of tile. Do not hesitate to inquire with a roofing contractor or with the supplier of the tiles if you decide to do any installation or roof renovation work yourself. Elements for roof ventilation There are some things that help improve the ventilation of your roof. Consider including them in the installation of your roof. The roof cat flap The roof cat flap comes in the form of a small opening in the roof that allows air ventilation. Roof cat flap comes in various shapes and comes in a variety of materials. You will easily find a cat flap adapted to your type of roof. You will easily find suitable roof cat flaps for the materials and configuration of your roof. You will find roof cat flaps in different shapes (square, rounded or rectangular) and in different materials (terracotta or Zinc). Note that there are also roof cat flaps suitable for VMC outlets. For the installation of a roof cat flap, it is recommended to install a roof cat flap every 20 m2 for a tiled roof and one every 10 m2 for a slate roof. Everything will, of course, depend on the configuration and specificities of your roof.
