Record Australian Heat Motivates Record Number Of Roof Ventilators Being Installed

Australian national temperatures in January were above average, which has been identified as one of the primary reasons why property owners were motivated to install a record number of roof ventilators in January 2016. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology released data on Monday the 1st of February highlighting that  "the Australian maximum temperature was 0.21 °C above average and the Australian minimum temperature was 0.82 °C above average". Combined with rising electricity prices and general cost-of-living expenses, Australian homeowners have been researching for affordable insulating and cooling practices.

As the installation of roof vents creates an environment that decreases the growth of mould, generally the highest demand for roof vents is in winter months. But January 2016 has seen record interest in roof vents as property owners look for an eco-friendly way to combat the record temperatures.

Roof ventilators are a cost-effective cooling solution that utilises convection and wind energies to remove heated air from roof cavities. By increasing air movement throughout the house, roof vents can dramatically reduce the temperature in houses.

With a factory and testing facility in Ingleburn, the Twista team specialises in creating roof ventilators that can handle the unique Australian elements.
