Roofing aerators "TechnoNIKOL": selection and installation of elements with a size of 160x460 mm

Many people do not realize that the roof is a rather complicated structure, and in order that the moisture does not accumulate under the roof covering and does not lead to rotting and corrosion of the structure, it is necessary to install an aerator. The company "TechnoNIKOL" offers a fairly wide range of these devices. What are they and how to choose the right aerator, let's see.

TekhnoNIKOL is a Russian brand that has been manufacturing various building materials since 1994, including mineral wool, roofing felt and roof aerators.

Its main production is in the city of Vyborg, Leningrad region.Products are supplied not only to all corners of Russia, but also abroad.

Many have not even heard of such a device in the roof, as aerators. But it is quite a necessary device. It is designed to remove the moisture in the layers of the roof. The ventilation unit is installed on the roof surface, it can be chosen for almost all roofing materials.

TechnoNIKOL aerators have a number of advantages:

• when installing this device, the roof insulation is ideally dried, the fungus and mold do not start there, the structural parts of the roof need to be repaired much less often;
• when using this device increases the insulating properties of insulation;

• the brand offers a fairly large selection of aerator models that can be selected not only for a different roof volume, but also for a different appearance;
• it is possible to install aerators both during roofing and already on the finished roof;
• very often, a soft roof swells up and starts to flow after installation - it is easy to cope with this problem with the aid of the device in question;
• This device is also very useful for a roof made of corrugated flooring, since it not only fills the space under the roof with fresh air, but also helps to remove stale air and remove accumulated gases and dust from under the corrugated flooring.

The TekhnoNIKOL company offers customers several types of aerators, which differ not only in design, but also in the type of installation.

Point aerators are installed on the roof slopes as close as possible to the ridge. They resemble ventilation pipes in "Khrushchev", only have reduced size. In addition, there are point aerators that hide under the roofing material - they are almost invisible.

Ridge ventilating devices are intended more for mansard roofs where warming is made under the fad. In this case, ventilation is carried out along the entire length of the roof. Outside, these devices are practically invisible, as they are hidden by roofing material. The work of such an aerator is based on the law of physics: warm air accumulates at the highest point of the roof, that is, under the ridge, then with the help of the device is brought outside, and instead it receives fresh air.In this case, the device has a filter that protects the house from the entry of insects, as well as rain and snow.

The choice of aerator for the roof "TechnoNIKOL" depends on several aspects.

• It is affected by the degree of readiness of the roof: are you building it at the moment or is it ready? Some models of devices are intended only for installation on an already built roof, and some, on the contrary, are mounted only during construction. Thus, the point model "TechnoNIKOL-Eco" of 75x340 mm size is intended only for erected structures, unlike representatives of the same line with dimensions of 160x460 mm and 160x450 mm, which can be installed during construction.
• The effect is exerted by the type of ventilation unit that is needed. If there is no technological room under the roof, and the space is occupied by the living room, then the ridge type aerator will be the most suitable. If the attic is non-residential, then you can do with spot devices. In addition, the choice depends on the type of roof. So, on the roof, the angle of which is quite small, only a point device, for example, a PVC device measuring 75x240 mm, is suitable. Ridge type is suitable only for duo-pitch roof type.
• The choice of device depends on the type of roofing material.Some devices can only be installed on a soft surface. This includes the KTV model. For metal with a profile Monterrey developed a special series of devices SKAT Monterrey.

Aerators should be selected in color to your roof., especially since the company TekhnoNIKOL provides such an opportunity, releasing the aerators of most series in several shades. You can purchase instruments in brown, blue, and red. This makes it possible to completely hide the ventilation devices laid under the roof, and to the spot appliances to fit well into the exterior of the house.

In order for the installed TechnoNIKOL aerators, including those with an element size of 160x460 mm, to fully fulfill their function, when installing them take into account some of the advice of professionals.

• Before installation it is worth assessing the condition of the insulation on the roof. If its humidity is high, then this technological layer should be replaced.
• It is recommended to install one TechnoNIKOL aerator per 150 square meters. m roof. The most preferred place to install the device is the ridge, and the distance between the aerators should be no more than 8 meters.

• If your roof has cement-sand screeds and the roof is made using materials such as Uniflex EPV Vent and Technoelast EKV Vent, then aerators should be installed at the rate of 1 device per 100 square meters. m., since such a roof needs an increased air flow.
• Calculating the number of necessary ventilation devices, it is worth considering the skylights. Such design features impede the movement of air and require the installation of aerators on both sides of the barrier.
• When installing aerators, you should not be afraid of freezing of the roof, as when installing this device an additional pad of expanded clay is used.

Buyers speak about TechnoNICOL aerators quite well. Installing such a device really helps to solve the problem of high humidity and condensation in the attic. In addition, the possibility of installing this device after mounting the roof without disassembling the structure is noted. But the buyers who installed this device also warn that the installation of the roofing ventilation structure still needs to be entrusted to specialists, as an incorrectly installed device will not only not be able to fully perform the functions assigned to it, but also lead to roof leakage.
