Conservatory Roof Ventilation:

In today’s home, natural ventilation has been all but eliminated thanks to the use of modern materials and construction techniques. This may be good news in terms of draughts and your heating bills, but it’s not so great for your conservatory.

The lack of flowing air can cause condensation to build up and it is always worth considering additional ventilation to guarantee maximum enjoyment from your new investment. This could take the form of ceiling fans, or for the ultimate solution, the K2 roof vent.

This vent has been rigorously tested to ensure its ability to offer the highest levels of weather tightness. In fact, it is able to resist leaks even in the face of winds in excess of 50mph and rainfall of almost 5 inches per hour! The K2 roof vent also offers slim sight lines for enhanced aesthetic appeal, an integral drainage system and is available in a number of colours.

The vents are either manually operated or electrically operated. The manually operated vent operated via a pole which hooks onto the opening device. This is the most popular type of vent, and also very cost effective. We have found that when all the relevant components and electrical work have been completed the cost of the electrically operated vents becomes quite high.
