Ventilation Profile
Chelsea Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Chelsea
We see a lot of homes where whirlybirds were originally installed at the minimum code-compliant count, calculated on roof area alone with no allowance for insulation type, roof pitch, or local solar load. Adding one to two additional units typically brings these roofs into an effective ventilation range.
Why It Happens
Roof cavity temperature in summer is driven by solar radiation transmitted through the roof covering, re-radiated from the underside of roof sheets or tiles, and convected upward by air warmed on contact with the roof surface. Removing that hot air by extraction reduces the equilibrium cavity temperature.
How We Fix It
On Colorbond roofs, turbine penetrations are done with a purpose-formed Colorbond-matched collar flashing that follows the profile of the sheet. Penetrating a Colorbond roof incorrectly causes water ingress at the screw perimeter and profile mismatch — both of which we avoid.
