20 Cold roof ventilation requirements Key to illustrations Warm roof/building areas Cold roof areas Low Resistance underlay High Resistance underlay Sarking Normal ceiling A ceiling where no attempt has been made to seal all gaps or penetrations (e.g. light drops, pipes etc.) Well sealed ceiling The design avoids construction gaps, especially at the wall ceiling junction with dry lining construction and holes in the ceiling. No access door or hatch should be located in rooms where large amounts of moisture are produced, including kitchens or bathrooms. The ceiling is sealed to the external walls to limit any leakage through cracks. The head of all cavities in the external walls, party walls and partition walls is sealed to prevent transfer of warm moist air into the loft. Roofs with a normal ceiling Bituminous felts and vapour impermeable underlays (high resistance) Ventilation of the loft space under a traditional bituminous felt or non-vapour permeable underlay has proven to be an effective and robust solution when used with suitable high and low level ventilation. Roof spans under 10m (pitches under 35 ) Vapour permeable underlays (low resistance) The use of a low resistance underlay can reduce the requirement for ventilating the roof space. On fully boarded roofs, i.e. sarking, low resistance underlays should be treated as impermeable and the roof space below ventilated in accordance with the high resistance underlay requirements described above. Where a close-fitting roof covering has been used, the batten spacing should be ventilated in accordance with BS 5250: 2011 using counterbattens. 7,000 mm 2 /m 7,000 mm 2 /m Normal ceiling Roofs with a well-sealed ceiling Roof spans under 10m (pitches under 35 ) Bituminous felts and vapour impermeable underlays (high resistance) The ventilation requirements for cold roofs with vapour impermeable underlays and 'well-sealed ceilings' are the same as those without. Installing a 'well-sealed ceiling' will make the roof more energy efficient because airtightness will have prevented heat loss through convection. Heat loss due to low speed air currents over the cold side of the insulation (caused by ventilation) is negligible. 10,000 10,000 mm 2 /m mm 2 /m Well-sealed ceiling Vapour permeable underlays (low resistance) The installation and maintenance of a 'well-sealed ceiling' with a vapour permeable underlay can reduce the ventilation requirements. However, where a close fitting roof covering is used, the batten space should be ventilated in accordance with BS 5250: 2011 using counterbattens. 3,000 3,000 mm 2 /m mm 2 /m Well-sealed ceiling Roof spans over 10m (or pitches over 35 ) Fully breathable underlays The British Standard mainly distinguishes between two types of underlay: high resistance (HR) impermeable and low resistance (LR) vapour permeable. However, there are some manufacturers of low resistance underlays that claim their products are fully breathable, negating the requirement for ventilation as set out in the British Standard. There are a number of factors to consider before using any type of low resistance underlay, including: 1. How well-sealed the ceiling is 2. Whether a close-fitting roof covering is being used 3. Obstructions in the roof space In all circumstances, Marley Eternit recommend the use of additional ventilation when using any type of low resistance underlay. This can be achieved through the use of ventilated eaves and ventilated ridge systems. Close fitting coverings When specifying a close fitting covering which is relatively airtight (such as fibre cement slates), there is a risk of interstitial condensation forming on the underside of the underlay and the external covering. To avoid this risk, the batten space should be ventilated in accordance with BS 5250:2011 using counterbattens. 7,000 mm 2 /m 10,000 mm 2 /m 5,000 mm 2 /m Normal ceiling Normal ceiling 7,000 mm 2 /m Roof spans over 10m (or pitches over 35 ) 10,000 mm 2 /m 10,000 mm 2 /m Roof spans under 10m (pitches under 35 ) 5,000 mm 2 /m Normal ceiling 10,000 mm 2 /m Roof spans under 10m (pitches of ) 3,000 mm /m 5,000 mm 2 /m Well-sealed ceiling 3,000 mm /m For sarking applications: Roof spans under 10m (pitches under 35 ) 10,000 mm 2 /m 5,000 mm 2 /m Normal ceiling 10,000 mm 2 /m Roof spans over 10m (or pitches over 35 ) Roof spans over 10m (or pitches over 35 ) For sarking applications: Roof spans over 10m (or pitches over 35 ) 38 Cold roof ventilation requirements Cold roof ventilation requirements 39

21 Warm roof ventilation requirements Key to illustrations Low Resistance underlay High Resistance underlay Warm pitched roof with HR underlay In roofs with an HR underlay, whatever form of external covering or ceiling is provided, there is a risk of interstitial condensation forming on the underside of the HR underlay. To avoid that risk, an AVCL (air vapour control layer) should be provided on the warm side of the insulation and ventilated voids should be formed between the underside of the underlay and the insulation. Each void should be at least 25mm deep and vented at both high and low level. Warm pitched roof with LR underlay In warm pitched roofs with LR underlay, an AVCL should be provided at the ceiling line. If the external covering is sufficiently permeable, it will allow vapour to be released and no ventilation of the batten space is recommended. If it is not practicable to provide an AVCL, there might be some risk of interstitial condensation forming on the underside of the underlay. To avoid the risk, ventilated voids should be provided. Roofs with an AVCL Bituminous felts and vapour impermeable underlays (high resistance) The ventilation requirements for cold roofs with vapour impermeable underlays and 'well-sealed ceilings' are the same as those without. Installing a 'well-sealed ceiling' will make the roof more energy efficient because airtightness will have prevented heat loss through convection. Heat loss due to low speed air currents over the cold side of the insulation (caused by ventilation) is negligible. Traditional underlay and AVCL (10-75 pitches) Vapour permeable underlays (low resistance) Where an AVCL has been installed, the harmful effects caused by condensation can be controlled by the use of a vapour permeable underlay without ventilation. The vapour permeable underlay may be laid fully supported on the insulation or draped unsupported. An AVCL is essential on the warm side of the insulation. If there is any doubt about the ability to provide and maintain an effectively sealed AVCL, then ventilation should be provided as if the underlay were impermeable. Roofs with a close-fitting roof covering For warm roofs with a close-fitting roof covering, ventilation will be required either above or below the underlay, dependent on the underlay type. Ventilation void above underlay Ventilation void below underlay Fully breathable underlays The British Standard mainly distinguishes between two types of underlay: high resistance (HR) impermeable and low resistance (LR) vapour permeable. However, there are some manufacturers of low resistance underlays that claim their products are fully breathable, negating the requirement for ventilation as set out in the British Standard. There are a number of factors to consider before using any type of low resistance underlay, including: 1. How well-sealed the ceiling is 2. Whether a close-fitting roof covering is being used 3. Obstructions in the roof space In all circumstances, Marley Eternit recommend the use of additional ventilation when using any type of low resistance underlay. This can be achieved through the use of ventilated eaves and ventilated ridge systems. Close fitting coverings When specifying a close fitting covering which is relatively airtight (such as fibre cement slates), there is a risk of interstitial condensation forming on the underside of the underlay and the external covering. To avoid this risk, the batten space should be ventilated in accordance with BS 5250:2011 using counterbattens.
