Eaves & Ventilation
Roofing felt perishes over a period of time, and is at its most vulnerable at the lower end, the eaves.
Our Eaves Ventilation product’s will provide a solution to avoid the problem of condensation at the eaves level of all new and existing homes, as they are becoming more airtight and better insulated. Condensation needs to be reduced in in order that it will not cause damage to the structure of properties.
Eaves Protection (EPS)
Felt Support Trays
The Eaves Protector has been designed to provide a long term solution to the problems associated with eaves decay under the roof, including the degradation of felt and the secondary rotting of rafter timbers and other roof structures.
Roofing felt perishes over a period of time, and is at its most vulnerable at the lower end, the eaves. This is where the felt can sag and water can collect, this is called ‘ponding’. After some-time the ponding effect causes the felt to rot and rupture, allowing the water to access the roofing system.
The Eaves Guard/Felt Support Tray, which is plastic, prevents this as it is rigid enough to prevent the overlapping felt to sag or pond, and so avoids the natural breakdown process.
The Eaves Guard is the most cost effective way of providing a complete and robust felt support system that will not deteriorate, giving additional protection to the fascia detail, and suitable for use with all slates and tiles.

Over Fascia Vent 10mm & 25mm
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

Bird Comb (Eaves Comb Filler)
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.

Rafter Roll
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.
