Ventilation of Timber Flat Roofs
Reviewed here is a major co-operative investigation in Denmark into the effect of ventilation of timber flat (cold) roofs to combat condensation and moisture accumulation. Field measurements of moisture content in a number of test roofs over long periods and under different conditions are evaluated and conclusions drawn. They include the advice that, where moisture accumulation is a problem, it can be aggravated if roof vents are installed.
