Product Information

Full details

The Ubbink Over Fascia Vent is an essential roofing accessory for contractors and DIY homeowners seeking to maintain proper roof ventilation. It offers an efficient 10,000mm² airflow per meter through a 10mm air gap, ensuring effective moisture management and protecting roof structures from condensation. While it is highly versatile and fits most roof types, it is specifically recommended for roofs with a pitch of 30 degrees or greater, requiring careful planning for shallower roof designs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on a flat roof?

No, this product is specifically engineered for pitched roofs, with a recommended minimum pitch of 30 degrees.

Does it come with nails?

The pack includes the vents, but you will need to provide appropriate rust-resistant nails for your specific fascia material.

Is the insect mesh replaceable?

The mesh is integral to the design of the vent. If the mesh is damaged, the entire vent unit should be replaced.

How many meters does a pack of 5 cover?

Each unit is typically 1 meter in length, so one pack of 5 covers 5 linear meters of eaves.

Will this work with metal roofing?

It is designed for standard tiles and slates; please consult a roofing professional to ensure compatibility with specific metal profile systems.

What happens if my roof pitch is less than 30 degrees?

Using this on roofs below 30 degrees may reduce the efficiency of the airflow; check building regulations or manufacturer guidance for specific low-pitch alternatives.

Troubleshooting

Airflow seems restricted

Check the exterior of the vent for buildup of moss, dirt, or leaf debris and clear it using a soft brush.

Water pooling behind the fascia

Verify that the roof felt is positioned correctly over the vent flap to direct water into the gutter.

Vent strip is loose

Ensure that the correct gauge nails are being used and that they are driven flush into the timber fascia board.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures consistent airflow to prevent roof condensation
  • Compatible with a wide variety of roofing materials
  • Built-in insect mesh keeps pests out
  • Easy to install by nailing to existing fascia boards
  • Maintains a low profile for a clean roofline finish

Cons

  • Not optimized for roof pitches below 30 degrees
  • Requires proper felt positioning for peak performance
  • Sold in packs of 5, which may require extra units for smaller projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, nail the vent strip directly onto the top edge of the timber fascia board. Ensure that the roof felt is laid over the top of the vent flap so that moisture running down the roof can drain into the gutter rather than behind the fascia. The product is compatible with slate, clay, and concrete tiles. Routine maintenance is minimal; however, it is recommended to conduct a visual inspection once a year to ensure the insect mesh remains clear of debris, such as leaves or moss, which could potentially block the airflow.
