Ventilating Glasgow’s housing association stock

JR Roofing installed Hambleside Danelaw HD TV15 series flush fitting tile vents across 150 roofs as part of a Community Energy Saving Programme, refurbishing Glasgow Housing Association building stock.

The tile vents were selected as a more cost effective option against competitor vents because of their unique increased airflow specification. At 15,000mm² airflow, Danelaw’s tile vents can be installed at 1.5m spacings, whereas competitor vents with 10,000mm² airflow would need to be spaced just 1m apart. Therefore on a project of this size, time and cost savings can be made whilst giving a high quality flush fitting finish.

JR Group have been committed to installing Hambleside Danelaw’s vents on refurbishment projects for this reason since discovering them 4 years ago. Whenever properties are being insulated to improve their energy rating, it is important to ensure adequate ventilation is also installed to avoid condensation.
