Most roofs require ventilation as it helps to prevent moisture from condensing, which can lead to problems such as damp and mold. Moisture can come from a number of sources such as weather, household activities such as cooking or drying clothes and leftover residue from building materials (if the building is new).
Additionally, improved modern insulation is great for keeping in the warm and reducing energy costs, but not great for regulating the roof temperature, which causes moisture to build. It is essential to find a balance in order to effectively control the property’s moisture levels.
Without proper ventilation, warm, moisture filled air rises through a property and condenses when it meets the cold under-surface of the roof. This moisture can then cause problems such as mould and mildew, or cause structural damage and deterioration.
Lead is an excellent material for roof vents as its durability means a lead roof vent will likely last with very little maintenance for many years, far longer than some other materials. The long-lasting properties of lead also make it a sustainable option.
A bat access tile allows bats safe passage through a roof to help them into roosting areas in lofts and roof voids whilst maintaining the watertight integrity of the roof. This technology is approved by ecological experts as a safe and lawful way to allow bats access to their roosts.
Bats and people have been sharing dwellings for thousands of years. Modern building techniques and a change in land use have made bat roosting sites scarce, endangering the survival of many species. As a result artificial roost sites such as bridges, barns, roof voids have become essential for bat survival. Bat conservation and eco-surveys are often a condition of planning to protect bats and their habitats before planning permission is granted.
Architects and builders all over the UK and Ireland use our lead bat access tiles, the sleek design has minimal impact on the roofs aesthetics while the high quality lead material used is durable and long lasting.
Leadworx fabricates a range of lead flashing products made using 100% recyclable Code 4 sheet lead milled to British Standard BS EN 12588.
If you find bats in your roof, it’s important to know that bats are a protected species, so they must not be harmed or disturbed.
First, avoid direct contact and do not attempt to remove the bats yourself. Instead, contact the Bat Conservation Ireland or a licensed bat worker, who can advise you on appropriate actions.
