Mono Pitched Roof Ventilation

Through the design and installation of specific product combinations an unimpeded passive ventilation system is created for a skillion mono pitch roof any degree pitch the following product combinations are recommended.

Mono pitched roof ventilation. To provide ventilation opening points can usually be provided on the following areas of a pitched roof. While the gabled roof is always pitched in two directions the mono pitch always slants in a single direction. To reduce moist air entering the roof space. 3944123 divisions of the building product design group.

Figure 5 mono pitch roof next to be discussed will be flat roof construction. Additional continuous 5mm ventilation at high level for roofs where pitch exceeds 35 or for roofs of any pitch with a span of more than 10m for lean to or mono pitch roofs. Has an adhesive and flexible aluminium flashing which is designed to form to roofing profiles and prevent water ingress on any pitch roof. There are three main types of flat roof construction namely cold deck warm deck and inverted warm deck the only one of which requires ventilation being the cold deck see figures 6 and 7.

Whilst it is possible to retrofit passive ventilation solutions to existing buildings it is highly recommended to incorporate passive ventilation during the design phase of any new building project. A placed on top of the purlins. G2500n vent over fascia vent which allows calculated airflow into the roof cavity vb20 vent vented batten performs two functions. The vent apron vent is a polypropylene vent which enables warm air to escape from the lower roof void or through the barge detail of a mono pitch skillion roof.

Achieving calculated continuous and unimpeded airflow through the roof cavity is relatively straight forward. Divisions of the building product design group. Slating and tiling for pitched roofs and vertical cladding code of practice recommends that roof ventilation be provided in accordance with bs 5250. For mono pitched roofs cross ventilation should be in accordance with bs 5250 and have ventilation equivalent of a continuous high level 5mm slot in addition to eaves ventilation.

Eaves soffits and fascias. These ventilation requirements vary based on the circumstances of the building and the interpretation of these requirements by bs 5250. Gaps should be sealed where services pass through the ceiling.
