Full details

The Timloc Over Fascia Vent (Black) is designed for roofers and builders seeking efficient primary roof ventilation for pitched roofs under 15 degrees and flat roofs, particularly those with living accommodations. Its key benefit is providing a 25mm continuous airflow (equivalent to 25,000mm²) while supporting the bottom row of tiles. A potential consideration is its suitability specifically for roof pitches below 15 degrees.
