Ventilation Profile
Heathcote Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Heathcote
Ceiling insulation condition is always assessed alongside any ventilation proposal. Where insulation has compressed or degraded significantly, the ventilation upgrade alone won't resolve the comfort issue — the two items are interdependent and need to be addressed together.
Why It Happens
Insulation R-value is temperature-dependent — the stated R-value is measured at a reference temperature well below peak temperatures in a Melbourne roof space. At 65°C, the actual thermal resistance is lower than the specification states. Reducing operating temperature by ventilating the cavity recovers some of this degraded performance.
How We Fix It
Where a warranty claim or performance question arises, we return and test the extraction performance with a smoke pencil introduced at the soffit inlet — it gives a clear visual indication of whether the cavity is pulling air through the system as designed.
