HOW DO WHIRLYBIRDS WORK?
Whirlybirds remove hot air trapped between the ceiling and the roof. This stops that same heat from radiating from the ceiling space into the rooms, keeping your home cooler.
This helps in protecting a well-ventilated home from moisture condensation and temperatures that can reach sweltering 60 degrees Celsius.
Mould, mildew, dry rot, and moist insulation (which becomes ineffective) are just some of the problems that can occur in homes in hot humid climates when sufficient ventilation is not given.
Normal insulation alone is insufficient to keep heat from entering your home.
When the roof is adequately ventilated – which can be achieved with a whirlybird installation – less heat is transferred into your rooms, allowing air conditioners and fans to work more efficiently and the cost of running these appliances is also decreased.
Question: Are whirlybirds waterproof?
Answer: When built correctly, a whirlybird creates a totally watertight seal that prevents rain from penetrating the building or home.
Question: How many whirlybirds do I need for House?
Answer: The number of whirlybirds that you need for a house is dependent on a number of factors. Primarily, those factors are the size of the house, the amount of space between the ceiling and roof and the surrounding climate. It is best to contact a specialist to provide you advice on the number of whirlybirds your property will require to operate effectively.
Question: Do whirlybirds need wind?
Answer: The efficiency of a whirlybird is determined on the wind in the area. It will not work if there is no wind (except for the rotation created by the air expanding in the roof space as the sun heats it).
