Roofs Need Turbines

Flat roof vents have no moving parts to break or squeak but don t vent as much air as wind driven vents.

When the wind blows regularly these vents can move more air than other types of vents but they are not effective when the air is still. Please call us at. Naturally the action of wind turbines depends on the wind.

Typically a rooftop will use two or three of these turbines depending on the size of the roof. The turbines are adjustable so that the spinning part is level even though the roof is slanted. These will not rust. All things being equal wind driven turbine vents also known as a whirlybird roof vent do move more air than flat vents but only when the wind blows.

Wind driven roof vents will pull more air from the attic but only when the wind is blowing. Without proper ventilation the extra moisture in the heated air will cause wood rot mildew mold and exterior problems like ice dams.
