TapcoSlate Black Abutment Ventilator

TapcoSlate Black Abutment Ventilator

The TapcoSlate Black Abutment Ventilator is designed to provide discreet, high-level ventilation for slate and shake roofs, particularly where lead roll details are used. It is especially useful for top-edge abutment applications where available vertical clearance is limited, providing an effective ventilation solution without compromising the appearance of the finished roof.

Effective Roof Ventilation

The ventilator provides a guaranteed 5000mm²/m of ventilation, helping to meet the ventilation requirements of BS 5250 and supporting compliance with UK Building Regulations. It is designed to provide reliable ventilation while also helping to protect the roof space from driving rain and large insect ingress.

Discreet Installation

One of the key benefits of the TapcoSlate Black Abutment Ventilator is its unobtrusive design. Once installed, the ventilator is concealed within the roof flashing, allowing it to provide effective ventilation without creating a noticeable feature on the finished roof. Each unit is designed to overlap the next, helping maintain the integrity and continuity of the flashing detail along the roof edge. This overlapping design also makes installation straightforward and efficient.

Compatible with Lead-Free Flashing

The Tapco Abutment Ventilator can be used with AluFlash, providing compatibility with this lead-free alternative for roof flashing applications. It can therefore be incorporated into modern roofing projects where a practical alternative to traditional lead detailing is required.

Quick and Easy to Install

Designed to fit conveniently as part of the normal roof-covering installation process, the TapcoSlate Black Abutment Ventilator is quick and easy to install. Its design means it does not interfere with the normal laying of the roof covering, helping roofing professionals achieve a neat and efficient finish.

Key Features

The TapcoSlate Black Abutment Ventilator provides a discreet high-level ventilation solution for slate and shake roofs, with a guaranteed 5000mm²/m ventilation provision. It offers resistance to deluge and driving rain while helping prevent large insects from entering the roof space. Its concealed installation, overlapping units and compatibility with AluFlash make it a versatile option for abutment details, particularly where vertical space is restricted.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
