It’s about this time of year that residential and commercial properties will need to ensure their rooves are weather secure. Working inside a a commercial building isn’t easy, because you have no choice but to wear protective equipment even while it’s hot or cold outside.

For residents, you burn a lot of money keeping the air conditioning and the fan on in your house, throughout hot and then cold weather. However, if you have flumes or vents installed, you could save yourself a whole lot of time and money. Let’s take a look at why these two important aspects are actually some of the most effective solutions on the market.

Small yet effective

Flumes can be fitted anywhere on your residential roof. They provide a small but very effective solution to air circulation. If you go for one of our large-cap designs, it will improve airflow by up to 40%. The installation is done in such a way that it won’t damage any part of your roof, either exterior or interior.

The flume design we use is also waterproof. Any rainfall will hit the sides and simply drain away. The hot air that is being vented out of your home, will also be dispersed towards the sides. The holes in the vertical pipe are covered by the cone that is fitted on top, so there’s no chance of the system ever getting blocked. We at Arco, ensure a watertight fitting so no matter where you place it, water simply cannot get inside your home.

Whirlybird vents

Commercial properties such as testing units, production plants and warehouses, all have thriving activity throughout the day and night. Your business doesn’t stop working so neither should the air vents that keep your temperatures just right. Temperature control is a big concern for those that work in manufacturing and we, at Arco, have a solution that’s right up your street.

The ‘whirlybird’ aptly named for it’s spiraling bulbous shape, prevents rain from entering your ventilation system, and will immeasurably improve outward hot airflow. The vents are stainless steel, so there’s no chance of your vents being affected by rust. The installation that we do, at Arco, takes into account the material your roof is made out of, and we’re conscious of the weight of the vents, however, it won’t pose any issues at all. Just like our flumes, our vents are suitable for commercial and residential properties. 

Why you need them

Flumes and vents have unique uses, that make them an essential purchase for businesses and homeowners alike. They are very affordable, and provide an essential service to the cooling or heating factor in your roof.
