Don’t Vent If You Haven’t Got Proper Ventilation

The Australian climate is very unpredictable and at times unforgiving. With long, hot, dry summers and cool winters, you never know what the weather is going to be like. As a result of these conditions our homes can become extremely hot in the summer and unbearably cold during the winter.

As a homeowner, if you are fed up with the uncomfortable temperatures in your household, the most cost-effective way to solve this issue is to install a Solar Bright roof ventilation system . As the leading experts in roof ventilation, the team at Solar Bright know that people want to be comfortable in their own home.

Without proper ventilation your home experiences a number of problems including:

Moisture Damage

Cooking, taking a shower and doing the laundry use up a lot of water. As a result, moisture is created and makes its way into roof space. As the moisture builds up it seeps through cracks in walls or ceiling, damaging the paint and plasterboards.

Heat Damage

The hot Australian climate is as harsh as it gets. During the summer months, heat enters into our homes from the rooftop. With poor ventilation the heat radiates throughout the living space causing the temperature to rise, making conditions very uncomfortable.

External Damage

The combination of heat and moisture is very unpleasant. Both internal and external areas are affected and the consequent damage can be a pain to your hip pocket. Most commonly affected areas are the roof deck, trusses, shingles, rafters and painted surfaces.

Internal Damage

Most notable during the winter months when moisture levels build up in confined spaces. This is most prominent in areas such as the attic, as air travels upwards into the roof. The build up of moisture can lead to mildew, mould and rotting wood, leaving you out of pocket in repairs.

By installing a Solar Bright roof ventilation system, you have one less thing to worry about. Our roof ventilation system operate in a few different methods:

– Solar powered roof fan

Proper and effective roof ventilation not only keeps the temperature of your home at a comfortable level, you will save money by using less gas and electricity. An effective roof ventilation system cools your home in the summer as hot air is removed from confined spaces. As a result, your air conditioner usage is reduced and you aren’t so reliant on it to cool your home. With lower running costs, your energy bills decrease as the ventilation prevents heat from entering you home.

A Solar Bright roof ventilation system is a simple and cost-effective way to keep your home comfortable at all times. With a range of designs, you are sure to find the ideal ventilation system for your home.
