Exploring the Differences: Manthorpe G630 vs. Timloc 5560 Felt Lap Vents

Tapered Lead Compatibility: An outstanding feature of the Timloc 5560 is its
compatibility with tapered lead. This design allows for a seamless fit with the
tapered lead edge of the felt, ensuring a snug and efficient ventilation solution
for the roof space.

Felt Clips for Increased Ventilation: Similar to the Manthorpe G630, the
Timloc 5560 utilizes felt clips to help increase the amount of ventilation into
existing roof spaces. This feature contributes to the prevention of condensation
build-up and promotes a healthier roof environment.

Easy Integration with Loft Insulation: The Timloc 5560 is designed to work
harmoniously with additional loft insulation. This makes it a suitable choice for
properties that have recently undergone insulation upgrades, as it seamlessly
integrates into spaces with enhanced insulation properties.

Efficiency in Combatting Condensation: The vent's placement and design
effectively combat the problem of condensation build-up at the edge of the felt.
This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the roof structure and preventing
long-term damage.


Comparative Analysis:
Installation Process: Both vents boast an easy installation process, thanks to
the incorporation of felt clips. However, the Timloc 5560's compatibility with
tapered lead may offer a slight advantage for certain roof configurations.
Ventilation Efficiency: Both vents are designed to combat condensation issues
effectively. The choice between the two depends on the the preferences of the
installer due to them both allowing the same amount of airflow if used correctly.
The difference between standard ventilation and using felt lap vents
Ventilation of the roof built into your home would have been sufficient during
construction.

However, if you add something that may cool the surface of the loft (such as
adding more insulation ) or if you reduce the efficiency of existing ventilation
(partially or completely block existing vents), which people think are outdated,
we need to think again. Make sure the existing vents are not blocked.

Common things that can increase the risk of condensation in the loft:

• Placing insulation on top of the existing vents.
• The water tank inside the loft is hot and water vapour enters the loft (this
• is the job of the plumber).
• Excessive water vapour from your home rises into the attic. Perhaps
• through a gap around a light, toilet, loft hatch.
• An Increased insulation level of the attic without providing extra ceiling
• ventilation.
