Types and features of ventilation belts

The roof is a very important element in any house, in any structure. But in addition to high-quality materials and careful execution of works, attention should be paid to ventilation. In order for air to get in and any contamination of any kind was excluded, a PVC ventilation tape is needed.

The holes used in this tape can be round or oval. But regardless of it, they interfere with the penetration of insects and small birds, the creation of their nests. Despite such a serious obstacle for animals, ribbon elements do not interfere with air circulation inside the eaves overhang. Importantly, the design functions are also provided at a high level.

In the manufacture of tape it is usually formed into rolls 5 m long, but the width may be different:

• 5 cm;
• 8 cm;
• 10 cm;
• 12 cm

At the same time, some of the companies produce bays with a length of 60 m.It is very good to apply similar elements on big production facilities and on multi-storey residential buildings. But the most popular were ribbons, the length of which is 5 m, and the width is 0.1 m. As for colors, most people prefer brown, beige, black, red and white tonalities.

The production of ventilation tapes is mastered by a number of large companies. From the Russian organizations in their number hit the Grand Line. German structures are represented on the market - Mage, Klober. More affordable and relatively good-quality products are shipped to Polish MDM. Judging by the consumer reviews, such products have excellent performance and do not fade in a long time.

Designed for ventilation tape is attached to the eaves overhang using nails or screws. Hats fasteners must be wide to cover the holes fully. The installation step is from 20 to 25 cm. Instead of the specified parts, brackets can be used, which are driven by a construction stapler.

Ridge and perforated varieties of tape contribute not only to extend the period of operation of facilities. They help to make the appearance more complete, such products are suitable not only for ordinary private houses, but also for elegant cottages. The design covers the gap in the roofing product, while not obstructing the movement of air. Rolling ribbons with stretchable sections have been used for a long time.

The problems with this construction are connected with the fact that the straight gap is not able to transform into a surface hole under the action of a force from the side. Ridge tape for sealing is made with the function of adjusting the width. This function is realized due to compression or stretching of the central region, where there are waves of medium length. Slots for the passage of air should be located near the point of fixing the ridge. It is desirable at the same time and their presence in other places.

Another option is to provide a ventilating unit for mounting on a skate or on ridge boards in the middle part of the surface. At the borders with this part there are special sidewalls that are applied by an outer side to the roof covering.Accordingly, the gaps must be air permeable. This permeability is ensured by stretching the fibers.

This type of ventilation tape for the roof solves two main problems. If installed correctly, the ridge of the roof will be reliably protected from seepage of precipitation from above. At the same time, the air and the pairs contained in it, coming from below, leave the roofing pie unhindered from the pie. At first it is the tape construction itself that is mounted, and only after it comes the turn of the skate.

To obtain such products are used a variety of materials:

• polyethylene;
• aluminum foil;
• textiles based on polypropylene.

For comparison: the eaves ribbon is formed mostly from polyvinyl chloride. Butyl glue is used to make the layers more tightly adhere to each other. The outer protective sheath is made of sprayed aluminum. Additionally, a treatment is carried out that helps prevent the negative effects of ultraviolet rays.

This solution is ideally compatible with roofs of various materials. It doesn’t matter whether they are made of metal or shingles, composite shingles and profile decking - the result will satisfy all people's expectations. The installation process of the cornice is relatively simple. Practically everyone will be able to do this work independently. The role of protective tape on roofs made from natural or ceramic tiles is very large.

Such material effectively protects the roof from the destructive effects of various kinds. Compared with conventional tape, perforated products are stronger, more convenient to use, allow you to perform work more quickly and reduce labor intensity. In the production process, special presses are used. Thanks to them, the accuracy of the formation of holes increases significantly. For fastening tapes used screws, bolts, anchors. It is also possible to use nails and even studs, which gives such elements a universal character.
