Product Information

Full details

The Ubbink 25mm Over Fascia Vent is an essential solution for roofing contractors and DIY enthusiasts looking to ensure effective eaves ventilation in new builds or renovation projects. Providing a consistent 25,000mm² of airflow per metre, this product helps prevent moisture buildup and condensation within the roof space, effectively prolonging the lifespan of your roof structure. While it offers excellent performance and compatibility with all standard tile and slate types, users should note that it requires proper installation during the fascia boarding phase, making it less suitable for retrofitting without removing existing roof coverings.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this vent come with nails?

The pack includes the vent units; however, you should use standard corrosion-resistant roofing nails appropriate for your specific fascia material.

Can I use this with slate roofing?

Yes, the 25mm Over Fascia Vent is compatible with all types of roof tiles and slate.

Will the insect mesh clog up over time?

The mesh is designed to allow airflow while keeping pests out. In standard environments, it does not require frequent cleaning.

How much ventilation does one pack provide?

Each pack of 20 covers 20 metres of eaves, providing 25,000mm² of airflow per metre.

Can this be installed on a curved roof?

The rigid nature of these vents makes them best suited for straight fascia runs; they may not conform well to tight curves.

Is the black finish paintable?

The product is designed to be hidden by the tiles and fascia trim, so painting is generally unnecessary.

Troubleshooting

Airflow appears restricted after installation

Check that the roofing felt has not slumped over the vent openings or that debris from installation isn't trapped in the mesh.

Vent does not sit flat on the fascia

Ensure the fascia top edge is not uneven; use a plane to smooth the timber surface before fixing the vents.

Difficulty aligning multiple vents

Use a chalk line along the fascia board to keep the vents perfectly straight across the entire eaves length.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures effective ventilation to prevent roof decay
  • Universal fit for various tile and slate roofs
  • Built-in insect protection prevents pest ingress
  • Meets industry standards for airflow requirements

  • Requires installation underneath roof tiles

  • Requires careful alignment with the fascia board
  • Sold only in bulk packs of 20 units

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires access to the eaves before the final tiles or slates are laid. First, ensure the fascia board is securely fixed and level. Position the vent along the top edge of the board, ensuring the front edge is flush. Secure the vent by nailing through the provided fixing points into the fascia. Once secured, dress the roofing felt over the vent, ensuring it sits flat and does not block the airflow path. No special maintenance is required, though it is good practice to visually inspect the vents during roof maintenance to ensure the mesh remains free from excessive debris or paint buildup.
