Ventilation Profile
St Kilda Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in St Kilda
The majority of homes we assess for ventilation have either no mechanical extraction or inadequate extraction based on the original building permit rather than the actual thermal load of the roof. The BCA minimum has never been a high bar for comfort.
Why It Happens
Thermal stratification in a roof cavity means the highest temperatures are at the ridge apex, not distributed uniformly. Positioning turbines near the ridge extracts the hottest air directly — turbines placed lower on the roof slope draw cooler air and are proportionally less effective.
How We Fix It
On tiled roofs, we remove the tile course at the installation location, cut the penetration with a hole saw, bed the flashing in a compatible flexible mastic, seat the turbine neck in the flashing collar, then replace the tile course over the flashing apron.
