Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam F109 Soffit Strip Ventilator is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to maintain structural integrity in roof spaces by preventing moisture accumulation. It serves as an essential ventilation solution for plain or unvented 10mm soffit boards, providing a discreet, reliable airflow path. While highly effective at managing humidity, this product requires precise measurement and installation during the initial soffit fitment to ensure a flush, professional finish.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this product compatible with all soffit boards?

It is specifically designed for 10mm thick soffit boards.

How long is each strip?

Each strip is 5 meters in length.

Can I paint this ventilator?

The product comes in a standard white finish designed for long-term exterior use; painting is not recommended as it may clog the ventilation slots.

Does this provide sufficient ventilation for building regulations?

Yes, when installed correctly as part of a continuous ventilation system, it helps meet standard requirements for roof space airflow.

What is the total width of the strip?

The overall width of the strip is 80mm.

Can I use this for a retrofit project?

It is best suited for new installations where you are fitting new soffit boards, as it requires the boards to be slotted into the unit.

Troubleshooting

Strip vent does not fit the soffit board

Verify that your soffit board is exactly 10mm thick. The F109 is not compatible with boards that are significantly thicker or thinner.

Sagging or loose fitment

Ensure the soffit boards are properly supported by timber noggins or brackets at regular intervals to prevent excessive weight on the ventilator strip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Prevents structural damp and timber rot in roof spaces
Easy to install during standard soffit board assembly
Robust construction for long-term exterior use
Discrete appearance integrates well with existing roofline

Cons

Not suitable for soffit boards thicker or thinner than 10mm
Requires professional cutting tools for precise mitering
Cannot be retrofitted easily without removing existing boards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires that you are working with 10mm soffit boards. To install, measure the length of your soffit run and cut the 5-meter strip to fit accordingly. Slide the edges of your 10mm soffit boards into the H-section grooves on either side of the vent. Ensure the strip is adequately supported by the fascia board. Maintenance is minimal; during annual roofline inspections, visually check the 54mm vent section for blockages such as debris, bird nests, or heavy insect accumulation. Use a soft brush or a low-pressure water spray if the vent appears clogged to restore airflow.
