AIRTIGHT HOMES CARRY RISK OF CAVITY MOULD. PASSIVE VENTILATION SYSTEMS HELP YOUR BUILD BREATHE.

Energy efficient homes are great for our power bills but, the health of builds depends on ventilation.

As temperatures decrease, the relative humidity in the roof space increases. If temperatures cool too much, the vapor concentration in the air reaches dew point, any excess vapor then condenses into moisture, which can settle into insulation or absorb into timber, potentially leading to mould growth and rot. 

Reduce the risk of cavity mould by installing a Vent passive ventilation system in your next build.

Our builds need airflow. Simple as that.

Airflow prevents condensation and mould build-up in the roof and wall cavities, damaging the structural integrity of a new home. We have evidence of mould damage in new homes, just one to three years down the track, and in Europe and Australia, ventilation requirements to offset the moisture risk are standard in the building code.

Ventilation plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy indoor environment. In a well-ventilated home, air circulates freely, carrying away moisture and pollutants preventing condensation buildup that leads to mould. It’s crucial to allow the structure of our homes to breathe.

Vent’s passive system if specified on plans can reduce liability for future mould problems. At building stage, the cost of ventilation can be offset by reducing your build’s heel height and cladding costs using a Vent baffle
