| Ventilation
It is vitally important when you refurbish your roofline
that you examine the role ventilation plays in prolonging
the lifespan of your roof.
In the majority of homes insulation is fitted to the loft
floor, which does help to insulate the main living space,
but if your loft space is not adequately ventilated heat
rising from the living areas of your home will rise into
the loft space causing condensation on the inner structure
of your roof. If left unattended this condensation will eventually
cause premature deterioration of your roof timbers.
A Scotia roofline system has a number of ways of ensuring your
home is properly ventilated. Our sales team and your surveyor
will be happy to advise you. The following are some examples
of the ventilation options available.
 Continuous soffit ventilation
This option provides ventilation to the loft space
through pre-routed ventilation holes in the soffit board
as shown in the adjacent picture.
Circular ventilation
In this case our soffit boards are fitted and our
installers will calculate how many circular ventilation holes
must be cut into the board to provide adequate ventilation.
Jumbovent eaves protection™
Incorporating your eaves protection and ventilation
means that you can have all the benefits of an eaves protection
system whilst at the same time providing ventilation to your
roof space.
 Over
fascia ventilation
Over fascia ventilation provides discreet ventilation
to your roof structure and due to its positioning you are
less likely to have bugs or insects gaining access to your
roof space as shown in the adjacent picture.
