Written by the roof ventilation experts here at Beddoes Products, read our complete roof tile vent guide to help you choose the right roof vent tile for your loft space or bathroom extractor fan.

What are roof tile vents?

Roof tile vents are plastic roof tiles that include built-in ventilation units that facilitate airflow in and out of roof and loft spaces. They are favoured for their discreet look, easily blending into a roof’s aesthetic, and being an affordable effective roof ventilation system. 

Why do you need roof tile vents?

As your roof is the highest point of your property, hot air naturally rises into your roof or loft space. Roof tile vents improve the airflow and circulation in your property's roof or loft space preventing the development of moisture build-up or dampness caused by condensation.

By increasing the air circulation and providing adequate roof ventilation, tile vents make your home more energy-efficient and dramatically reduce the likelihood of rotting, decay or structural issues to your timber structure. This can save you from the expensive cost of roof or structural renovations and can increase the long-term value of your property.

How does a roof tile vent work?

Roof tile vents create an opening in the roof felt for air to pass through and circulate the loft to replace stale air, as well as allow warm air in your roof space to escape. 

As the highest point of your property, your roof space is where hot air rises to and settles. This not only makes your home feel hot and uncomfortable in warm weather but also can lead to the build-up of condensation as the moisture in the warm air hits the cold surfaces. 

Vented roof tiles allow fresh cool air to enter your roof from outside, replacing the warm air in your roof space. This prevents any build-ups of moisture leading to mould or rotting from the warm air condensing on your roof's timbers or structure. 

Can you use roof tile vents for extractor fans?

Yes! Our optional pipe adaptor can connect the roof tile vent to your bathroom extractor fan. This exhausts steam from the shower out through the roof. So you can keep your bathroom dry and prevent black mould.

Can you use roof vent tiles for soil stacks?

Yes! Our additional pipe adaptor allows you to connect your roof vent tile to your soil stack via the roof. So you can easily ventilate your soil stack without interrupting the aesthetic of your roof.
