FAQs
What type of roof tiles is this vent compatible with?
This vent is specifically designed for concrete double pantile roof tiles.
How much ventilation does this tile vent provide?
It offers a free vent area of 10,000mm², contributing to adequate airflow in the roof space.
What is the minimum roof pitch required for installation?
The minimum roof pitch required for this vent is 20°.
Can this vent be installed on any roof orientation?
Yes, as long as the roof pitch meets the minimum requirement of 20° and the tile type is compatible.
How often should I clean the tile vent?
It is recommended to visually inspect the vent periodically, especially after strong winds or storms, and clear any obstructions. Typically, a light clean once a year is sufficient.
Does the antique red color fade over time?
The vent is manufactured from durable, weather-resistant materials designed for long-term use. While colors can naturally weather over many years, significant fading is unlikely under normal conditions.
What is the maximum headlap for installation?
The maximum headlap for this tile vent is 100mm.
Troubleshooting
No noticeable airflow
Ensure the vent is not blocked by debris, leaves, or nesting materials. Check that the tile above is not significantly overlapping the vent, restricting airflow. Verify installation against the minimum pitch and headlap requirements.
Water ingress around the vent
Confirm the vent is installed with the correct headlap (maximum 100mm) and that the surrounding tiles are properly seated. Check for any cracks or damage to the vent itself and replace if necessary. Ensure roof felt or membrane is correctly positioned beneath the vent.
Vent color does not match tiles
While designed to blend, slight color variations in tiles can occur. This is an aesthetic issue and does not affect performance. Consider adjacent tile colors for the best match during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This vent is specifically designed for use with concrete double pantile tiles. It is not suitable for other tile profiles or roof types.
