Masons Passive Roof Ventilation System is a complete system for ventilating roof cavities in long run metal roofs. Using the natural stack effect and wind movement, this passive system helps remove warm, moist air and introduces cooler, drier air to protect the roof structure, insulation, and ceiling space from moisture-related damage.
The improved weather and air tightness of modern roof cladding and flashings contribute to warm, dry and healthy homes. But, the reduced airflow in the roof attic space can create a hidden problem – excess moisture and condensation in the roof space.
Without adequate ventilation, moisture builds up, creating the perfect conditions for mould growth. Good roof space ventilation is crucial in preventing this.
A passive roofing ventilation system is a method of ventilating the roof space without using mechanical fans. Instead, it relies on natural airflow – using the principles of convection (warm air rising) and wind pressure differences – to allow hot, moist, or stale air to escape while drawing in cooler, fresh air.
Masons Roof Ventilation System includes:
RIDGE VENTS to let warm air escape
VENTILATED ROOF BATTENS to create airflow under the roofing
INSUL-BAFFLE to preserve a clear air path near the eaves
Since being established in 1999, Masons has become a key supplier in the New Zealand building industry, offering a variety of quality systems and products for a whole range of building requirements.
