Duo pitch roof with clear air path
Where underlay/breather membrane is to be installed on top of counterbattens.
OR
Where 50mm air passageway between insulation and underlay/breather membrane occurs below the top face of the rafter.
Requirement:
Eaves ventilation with a continuous opening equal to 25mm. Free airspace between insulation and underlay of at least 50mm.
Ridge ventilation with a continuous opening equal to 5mm at each side of ridge.
Note: in addition to a well seated ceiling, a separate vapour control layer should be used on the warm side of the insulation..
Decra Solution:
i) DecraVent 25mm Eaves Packs, each pack providing ventilation for 6 metres of eaves, installed to provide continuous ventilation to both eaves.
Alternatively: Tile vents at appropriate centres to provide equivalent of a 25mm continuous opening.
ii) Decra Universal Ridge/Hip Ventilator (all Decra tile profiles) or DecraVent D Ridge system (Decra Classic, Elegance, Parctile, only) providing continuous ridge ventilation.
