On Wed, 8 Jan 2020 17:42:21 +0000, Steve ******, the notorious,
troll-feeding, senile idiot, blathered again: What of the possibility of air being able to rush from the house into the reduced pressure of the loft, so suddenly changing the differential pressure between the inside and outside of the roof and making it more likely that the roof is damaged or ripped off? SteveW Just what kind of a troll cock sucking senile asshole are you, Steve ******? tsk |

"Commander Kinsey" wrote in message news ![]() Why secure a loft trapdoor in a storm? And what's the roof pitch to do with anything? In theory you can get a suction effect similar to what you get with an aircraft aerofoil section. In practice it isnt seen often enough to matter. "Close and secure loft trapdoors with bolts, particularly if roof pitch is less than 30°" https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather...afe-in-a-storm I agree. A low pressure from the outside will pull on a roof's attic space to try to equalise with the internal pressure of the attic/home. If the roof opens a pathway is created. If the attic door opens, another pathway is created. This very small pathway then becomes subject to the mass of air in the home. This mass compresses and speeds up as it passes through the smaller hole and can be a very strong rush of air. |

This is unlikely, and if it did happen, an opening loft hatch would be the least of your worries. If the roof doesn't fail, the pressure of air in the loft and the house both remain at 14psi, so no hatch moving. |

Nope, tiled roofs arent airtight. This is unlikely, Plenty of tiles come off in strong winds. and if it did happen, an opening loft hatch would be the least of your worries. Wrong again when the open hatch makes it more likely that tiles will come off. If the roof doesn't fail, the pressure of air in the loft and ? the house both remain at 14psi, so no hatch moving. Tiled roofs arent airtight. |

Whether you lose your roof and even your loft door depends on the pressure difference and the speed it presents itself and, the time it exists. If your roof and ceilings structure cannot allow the equalisation to happen, the forces that keep them to your building can be overcome. |

But then it's proper wood, not flimsy modern plastic. Nothing to do with the construction of it. |
