Default Troll-feeding Senile ASSHOLE Alert!

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

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°"

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.

For all that to happen, you have to lose part of your roof. 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.

Correct, it's all about 2 pressures wanting to equalise. 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.

My point is.... assuming your roof is still on firmly, there is very little pressure difference between your house and your attic. So no reason for the trapdoor to move.

That's just plain wrong with the lower pitched
roofs and strong winds in the right direction.

So no reason for the trapdoor to move.


Pity they do in the real world.

The amount of air travelling through the gap in the eaves isn't enough to change the pressure in the attic so it's a big difference from the rest of the house to cause the trapdoor to move.

So no reason for the trapdoor to move.


Pity they do in the real world.


Mine never has. But then it's proper wood, not flimsy modern plastic.

That isnt the problem. The problem is the aerofoil effect
you can get with some roofs which arent airtight.

isn't enough to change the pressure in the attic


That's wrong too with some eaves designs.

so it's a big difference from the rest of the house to cause the trapdoor
to move.


Utterly mangled all over again.

So no reason for the trapdoor to move.


Pity they do in the real world.


Mine never has.


Because yours isnt a low enough pitch to get the aerofoil effect.

But then it's proper wood, not flimsy modern plastic.

Nothing to do with the construction of it.
