JUNE 05 - EFFICIENT PROPERTY UPGRADING
The
on-going need to improve the energy efficiency of homes,
and to bring some 1.5million properties up to the ODPM’s
Decent Homes Standard, needs careful attention to ventilation
requirements to avoid harmful condensation. Glidevale
Ltd (stand no 497, Hall Q), the leading supplier of roofing
and ventilation products, maintains the adage of “build
tight, ventilate right” must not be overlooked.
New heating systems, increased insulation and double glazing
lead to warmer air temperatures in buildings and colder
roof voids, increasing the risk of condensation in the
roofspace.
The Glidevale range of slate and tile ventilators provides
one simple method of introducing roof ventilation with
minimal disruption to occupants. Glidevale is offering
a free site survey service, to assess the requirements
for each property in terms of ventilation, and enable
any work to be integrated into the upgrade/ refurbishment
programme. The comprehensive survey includes an in-depth
assessment of the roof covering, analysis of requirements,
and specification of appropriate ventilation in line with
all regulatory requirements including the type and quantity
of each vent for each property.
Glidevale provides the widest range of slate and tile
ventilators on the market, profile- and colour-matched
to existing roof slates and tiles, including weathered
and discontinued designs. They are the only complete range
of slate and tile ventilators to be AA fire rated, enabling
unrestricted use on the roof, regardless of proximity
Nick Beswick, Glidevale Sales Director, comments, “It
is difficult for clients and maintenance staff to know
every roof tile and slate made, and understand the requirements
for ventilation of the roof space. It makes sense for
housing organisations to delegate this element to the
experts in the field, saving themselves time and money
on the original assessment, and eliminating the risk of
potentially costly remedial work curing a roofspace condensation
problem.”
