Installation Advice
- Use product OF1 to ventilate pitched roofs, where the pitch of the roof is 15 degrees or more, and the roof void is attic or loft space.
- Use product OF2 to ventilate pitched roofs, where the pitch of the roof is less than 15 degrees, flat roofs or any roof where living accommodation is contained within the roof space.
- Make sure each ventilator is fixed securely into the top of the fascia board using screws or nails through each fixing hole provided.
- On pitched roofs it is advisable to provide a felt support above the fascia ventilator. This will prevent the felt from sagging behind the fascia board and will maintain a clear air path at the front.
- When ventilating flat roof abutments with product OF2 some extra joinery work is essential.
- Ventilation must be provided for the full length of the eaves and along both sides of the building to create a cross flow ventilation action.
