Whirly Bird Installation
Whirly birds are a wind driven turbine ventilator designed to exhaust heat & moisture from the roof space of a home, without the use of electrical energy. Constructed from light-weight aluminium, it comes with a 15 year warranty for long lasting peace of mind and comfort in your home.
During the summer months, temperatures in roof spaces can reach levels as high as 60ºC, causing discomfort in living areas. Cooler months can be just as much of a problem with the roof cavities becoming very humid and sticky. This can cause mildew on walls and ceilings, which can contribute to a damp environment.
Here at Roof Ranger we believe that installing a wind master whirly bird can be a great solution to the problems listed above.
Wind master whirly birds are available in an extensive range of 28 colours to suit most roof options.
How many WindMasters do I need?
The number of whirly birds you will need will vary based on your roof size and reasons for ventilating. As a general recommendation, 1-2 whirly birds is sufficient per 90m2 of roof space.
However, for the best results contact us at Roof Ranger and we can help you with a solution, custom to your needs.
