What our RoofWhirlys4Africa Roof Mounted Wind Driven Turbine Ventilators can do for you in Winter.
In domestic homes and industrial buildings water vapour from bathrooms, kitchens and buildings are drawn into the roof space and condenses to form as much as 12 litres of moisture per day (year round).
During winter, most buildings have a common issue, moisture build up that causes condensation. This happens mostly at night due to:
--->Air in the building rising until it meets the colder roof area
--->This causes condensation and little water drops
--->With nowhere to go, the water runs down walls, drips onto machines, furniture, or even pools on the floor. Over time, this can cause serious damage.
Why is this problematic?
--->Can damage the structure of the building
--->In some cases, moisture build-up may lead to health issues for occupants.
--->Moisture and water build up can cause mould which makes people sick
--->The moisture can make insulation ineffective
--->It can cause damage to roof timbers, ceilings and ceiling boards.
So what do our RoofWhirlys4Africa range of roof whirlys do for you?
--->Roof whirlys (also called whirlybirds or roof ventilators) help solve this problem by:
---> Pulling air out of the building 24/7 – before it reaches the colder roof.
---> Letting the air inside match the outside temperature more evenly – which also reduces the condensation build up.
