Eaves & Ventilation

Eaves Ventilation

To comply with building regulations (approved document F2) all newly built properties must have continuous ventilation at eaves level to avoid damp and condensation within the roof void.

The 10mm and 25mm continuous Over Fascia Vents have a low profile design for minimum disruption to the eaves detail. Once installed, and almost undetectable, they still allow a continuous 10mm & 25mm air gap, when fitted on top edge of the fascia board. The 10mm vent is suitable for for conventional cold roofs. The 25mm vent is suitable for warm roofs, flat roofs and roof pitches below 15deg

Eaves Protection

Creates a barrier against birds and large insects.

It prevents them entering the void between the underside of Profiled Tiles and the underlay on pitched roofs. Injection moulded from high-quality, low-density polyethylene.

Its flexibility prevents any alignment problems. Manufactured in 1.0mtr strips, which is effective, quick and easy to fit. Durable and totally resistant to decay.

Eaves Ventilation

Many of the present continuous type roll panel ventilators are susceptible to collapse when installed due to their manufacturing method, box-like shape and poor design characteristics.

The European Plastics Roll Panel Ventilator has been designed with better rigidity, to avoid collapsing when installed over the insulation. The robust sinusoidal shape of the ribs provides additional strength and ensures that when fitted over the wall plate, the ventilation to the roof space remains unobstructed.

The new widths also ensure that when fitted with the new higher levels of insulation, the ends of the ventilators are not blocked. The Roll Out Trays will provide a clear ventilation channel above the loft insulation, and provides continuous ventilation when installed along the whole length of the eaves.

OVEP 2 in 1 & 3 in 1 Eaves Tray

A further development of eaves protection comes in the form of the innovative ‘one-piece’ eaves protector combined with an integrated over fascia ventilator and bird comb.

The ‘one-fix’ system is provided by an upstand on the underside of the eaves protector, which sits on the top edge of the fascia board, which is supplied with a 10mm continuous vent. Known as a ‘2 in 1’ System, used with Flat Tiles and Slates.

The provision of a fixed bird comb creates an effective barrier against birds and large insects, which is known as a ‘3 in 1’ System, used with all Profiled tiles.
