Because ventilation will detach or prevent the build up of damp, Gould and fungi and here’s why that’s so important. Condensation (water) on underside of a concrete floor Moisture below timber floors causes buckling and cupping of the floor boards. These floor boards have absorbed so much moisture they have expanded and with no other direction to go, they lift up. In this case the moisture in the timber floor boards has caused so many sideways expansion that it has cracked the wall outside. Dismal marks around nails in floor boards are due to the moisture in the floor joists rusting the nails and leaving a stain.

As Sydney’s longest established company installing vents for improving ventilation to sub floor areas, we have a expansive variety of systems to deal with almost any situation. This heritage style vents are made from cast alloy and are replicas of the used metal vents. This vent is a notable manufacture and not kept in stock so please allow for a longer lead time when ordering this vent. Being an air extraction unit, vents are necessary, and similar to the cranky flow required when using air bricks, the air must be able to pass unimpeded through the sub floor from the existing (or surplus if required) vents to the Eco fan opposite. The damp course in more recently constructed homes is a plastic membrane that runs horizontally in the brick wall. Moisture will rise to this slick and stop as it cannot pass through the plastic. If a wall has no damp course, or the damp course has broken down, there are a scanty different options to install a damp course into existing homes, all of which are quite expensive and very messy. Drill 23 holes per brick at damp course slick and injecting a silicone product which absorbs into the brick and then sets. Holes are drilled into the brick at damp course slick and electrodes inserted. The best way to ventilate your sub floor is with air cranky flow ventilation, letting nature do the work for you. Vents have no maintenance requirements and can be painted or rendered to suit your home. Ember exempt vents are also available for homes in bush fire prone areas as needed by council.
