RoofWhirlys4Africa ventilation for domestic buildings provides an affordable GREEN ventilation solution for everyday living
Ventilation for domestic buildings
Commonly referred to as whirlybirds or whirlybird vents, your wind driven roof mounted wind turbine ventilators operate around the clock. These whirly vents improve indoor air quality (critical for health and comfort). Activated by the slightest breeze or heat this effective ventilation continuously changes and replaces used air in your home without needing electricity. You will find the product easy to install (a roofer can install one in less than an hour). RoofWhirlys4Africa wind turbine ventilators control temperature and replenish oxygen. Furthermore they remove moisture, odours, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, and carbon dioxide. They also keep interior building air circulating (without creating a draught) and prevent stagnation of the interior air.
Good ventilation protects your health
Good ventilation protects you, your family, and your guests from unpleasant odours, irritating pollutants, and potentially dangerous gases like carbon monoxide. Good ventilation also prevents the growth of mould and mildew, which can cause or aggravate allergic reactions and lung problems such as asthma. Because people generally spend about 80% of their time inside, indoor air pollution can actually be a bigger health risk than outdoor air pollution.
Good ventilation protects your home
Good ventilation protects your home from damage by removing excess moisture from the air. Too much moisture rots window sills and attic eaves, peels paint, and invites insect infestation. Damp insulation in walls and ceilings means lost heat, higher fuel bills, and destructive mould growth. Carpeting, wallpaper, electronic equipment, and furniture can all be damaged by excess moisture.

Customers save on electricity and home maintenance after installing their RoofWhirlys4Africa ventilation for domestic buildings
Reduce your monthly electricity bill and home maintenance by effectively venting the roof spaces with our attractive RoofWhirly4Africa ventilation for domestic buildings.
Reduce your monthly electricity bill
By installing wind driven RoofWhirlys4Africa ventilation for domestic buildings, the hot air trapped in the roof space is effectively removed in summer. Furthermore, in winter, RoofWhirlys4Africa ventilation removes moisture laden air.
In Summer, when it is hot outdoors, it’s even hotter in the roof. A recent thermal image was taken of the attic of a house without ventilation during a heat wave. It showed the coolest part of the attic of a house to be 86°C whilst the tiles were 100°C! Think of it like this, since you like the inside of your home to be 22°C you need a tremendous amount of cool air when your attic space is 86°C. RoofWhirlys4Africa ventilation for domestic buildings draws the hot air out of the roof space helping to make the inside of your home comfortable.
Furthermore, if you already have air-conditioning RoofWhirlys4Africa ventilation for domestic buildings reduces the energy required to cool your building. Any air-conditioners you work less hard and use less electricity.
During winter, water vapour from bathrooms and kitchens is drawn into the roof space and condenses to form as much as 12 litres of moisture per day. Your RoofWhirly4Africa ventilation for domestic buildings will reduce condensation / dripping that damages any insulation you have. Furthermore removing this moisture in your ceiling space will stop water damage to roof timbers and ceiling boards.

RoofWhirlys4Africa ventilation for domestic buildings is leak proof
Many people look at the ventilators and think they will leak during a rainstorm but they don’t. The wind that almost always accompanies a rain shower or storm actually causes the turbine to spin and blows rain drops away from the vent.
Proper roof ventilation systems also play an important role in minimising your maintenance costs.
- The heat trapped in your ceiling space can cause electrical wiring to dry out and crack
- Rising damp in winter causes plaster to crack and damages paintwork
- Metal fittings on the roof can corrode.
- Trapped moisture causes mildew on ceilings and mould on roofing tiles.
