The harsh New Zealand elements are often the same ones that contribute to its beauty. From high humidity climates to salt spray and high winds, there are several effects to consider ensuring that these elements are working with and not against our homes.
Many of us focus on the aesthetic appeal of our home and do not realise the functionality and health-of-home aspects we need to consider.
One of these is the need to ventilate your roof space adequately, the benefits of which you can enjoy for the life of your home.
Good roof space ventilation will help your air conditioning run more efficiently. Most new homes these days include ducted air conditioning systems throughout for ultimate home comfort.
The ducts through which all that expensive, conditioned air flows live in your roof space, so keeping this area cool is crucial to supporting the cooling of your home.
In summer, roof space temperatures can rise to 70°C, warming the ducting and making your air conditioning system work harder to cool down your home.
