E-vent Roofing Ventilation All Year Round

Announcement posted by Action Sheetmetal & Roofing 02 Oct 2013

Not sure that old whirlybird on your roof works? Already suffering in the rising Gold Coast temps? Maybe it’s time to have the Action team install the revolutionary E-Vent roof vent system in your home or workplace!

The impressive list of building products made from COLORBOND steel continues to grow with the introduction of E-Vent, the first seamless roof ventilation system requiring no moving components. The E-Vent system is a patented, environmentally-friendly solution for venting hot air from residential and commercial roof spaces. Designed to utilise the Venturi effect, the E-Vent harnesses the combined natural forces of differential air pressure and natural energy to effectively cool roof spaces without using electricity.

The energy efficient cooling solution works by sitting flat against the ridge cap of the roof and extracting hot air, odour and bacteria from roof spaces; allowing the building to stay cool and fresh. Made entirely from COLORBOND steel, the E-Vent is the perfect partner for roofs made from COLORBOND steel because it can match any of the 20 colours available for homeowners to choose.

This new innovation is indicative of the growing popularity of COLORBOND steel, which is used on many parts of the home including roofs, walls, fences, gutters and downpipes, sheds, garages and pergolas. And, because COLORBOND steel is tested in Australia for Australian conditions, the E-Vent system, like other products made from COLORBOND steel, is extremely hardwearing and able to stay looking newer for longer!

Here’s what a new home owner had to say about their experience with the E-Vent.

 “I recently built a home in Geraldton and was fairly concerned at how the roof would look, as I didn’t like the look of one of those whirlybirds. With the installation of the E-Vent however, I don’t even notice it on the roof. It looks great and does the job it is made to do”.

Properly designed non-moving vents such as the passive E-Vent cooling system can do the same job, if not better, on balmy days when whirlybirds are handicapped. The E-Vent is also much less visible than whirlybirds, is carbon neutral, and can even prevent birds from getting into the roof due to its mesh protection.

With our humid Queensland climate and summer fast approaching, there is no better time to install the E-Vent system. And let’s not forget that bushfire season is around the corner also, so being fire proof, the system is great for homes located in bushfire prone areas.
