Ventilation Profile
Thomastown Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Thomastown
Older homes with slate or terracotta roofs and no ceiling insulation were built in an era when ventilation was provided by the thermal mass of the roof covering and the permeability of the building envelope. Modern sealed construction requires deliberate mechanical ventilation to compensate for the reduction in natural air exchange.
Why It Happens
The turbine bearing quality determines its rotation threshold — the minimum wind speed at which it begins to spin. Premium bearings start at around 2 km/h; cheap units require 4 to 5 km/h. In Melbourne's still summer conditions, that difference determines whether the unit is working or stationary.
How We Fix It
All our whirlybird installations are completed as single-day jobs — measure, install, flash, seal, tile reinstate, clean up, and functional test on the same day. We don't leave penetrations open overnight.
