Options
- Tubular skylights for hallways, bathrooms and laundries
- Framed skylights for living areas and raked ceilings
- Whirlybirds and ridge vents to move hot air out of the roof space
- Condensation control: vapour-permeable sarking and ventilation to stop roof-space moisture
Do it with the re-roof
Cutting in skylights and vents during a replacement means flashings are built into the new roof from the start. That's tidier, cheaper and less likely to leak than retrofitting later.
Frequently asked questions
Do whirlybirds actually work?
They help move hot air out of the roof space, especially when there's somewhere for fresh air to come in, like eave vents. Combined with sarking and ceiling insulation, they make a noticeable difference in summer.
