Vented fascia (not soffit)???
Hi,
Following on from yesterday's photo session, I wonder if anyone has come across a solution to venting fascias where there is no soffit. I need to vent these, ideally to about 25mm continuous at least. We'll be venting the entire roof surface through these vents so little wibbly ones won't be much good. Here's what I need to vent: Inside face http://www.dionic.net/Alveston/Dec08...G_0023_gb.html Outside face http://www.dionic.net/Alveston/Dec08...G_0033_gb.html This appears to be exactly designed for the job (bottom most picture): http://www.deerparkroofing.com/ventilation.php But it's american and I've not found it in the UK. Anyone know if there's a stock solution to this problem? ---------- I don't think the usual British over-fascia vent strip will work due to the tightness of the overlap of the felt - and this job needs to be done without damaging the felt as it was only re-done 3-4 years ago (expensive job too). Failing everything else, the fall back would be to cut 300mm long x 25mm wide horizontal slots in the PVC fascia lining up with the rafter ends, guard with mesh and apply an external rain guard to prevent driving rain from entering (although with careful placement, the gutter might do this). Cheers Tim |
