A range of ventilation products is now available from roofing specialist Cembrit Blunn to complement its fibre cement and natural roofing slates. Practical and efficient, ventilation products from Cembrit Blunn do not compromise on aesthetic appearance and have been specifically designed to correspond with current mandatory requirements. All vents are manufactured to match the profile, ridge design, tile size and surface texture of the roof, and are colour matched to blend discreetly with the roof slates. A special coating ensures the ventilators withstand UV radiation, temperature fluctuations and general weathering.

“Roof ventilation is often inadequate despite the wealth of guidelines that exist and this can be even more of an issue for roof repairs or refurbishment. To make things easier for our customers we’ve developed roof ventilation products that enable our range of slates to be used on almost all roofs as well as fulfilling the Building Regulation requirements” explains Ged Ferris, Marketing Manager at Cembrit Blunn. “High humidity provides perfect growing conditions for mould fungi, dust mites and other micro-organisms. This can aggravate respiratory problems such as asthma and allergies. Use of air vents encourage internal air circulation which combats humidity - with the added benefit that dry air is cheaper to heat than humid air! Plus our ventilation products are highly efficient and remove moisture from the air even when it is raining.”

Cembrit Blunn has created a portfolio of ventilators at different price levels that meet the mandatory requirements as well as fulfilling the growing demand for unobtrusive ventilation. In addition to low cost traditional cowl or “bump” vents, low profile or “in-line” vents are set into a plastic surround and are available with a colour and texture similar to the fibre-cement or natural slates Cembrit Blunn sell. The top of the range is “Slate vent 2” which incorporates the low profile ventilation component inset in a natural slate helping to camouflage the ventilator as the vent slate has an identical appearance to its neighbouring slates and will weather at the same rate. The ventilators are well proven in the UK climate and will last as long as the surrounding slates.

Using skills built up over 80 years, Cembrit Blunn select natural slate, fibre cement slates and roofing accessories from the finest quarries and manufacturers worldwide. Quality levels at Group factories are rigorously maintained to high standards with fibre cement slates produced to BS EN 492:2004 and manufactured under the control of a BS EN ISO 9001: 2000 quality management system. Cembrit Blunn is a member of the Dansk Eternit Holding A/S Group of Denmark, one of Europe’s major building material producers of fibre reinforced cement products for the roofing and cladding industry. The ultimate parent company FL Smidth this year celebrates its 125 year anniversary.
