Product Information
Full details
The Manthorpe Slate Grey Non Profile Tile Vent is designed for homeowners and tradespeople seeking a versatile ventilation solution for slate and flat tile roofing. Its key benefit is reducing condensation and moisture buildup in roof spaces, preventing potential damage. A caveat is that its non-profile design requires careful installation to ensure a weather-tight seal, especially on varied tile shapes. This vent offers a discreet, grey finish that blends with most roofs and ensures consistent airflow.
