Timloc Universal Tile Vent

Universal Roof Tile Vent

The Universal Roof Tile Vent (RTV-UNI) is a high-quality, versatile vent designed to provide effective roof space ventilation or connect directly to a ducted ventilation system. Suitable for use with any type of tile or slate roof covering, it ensures consistent airflow and protection against moisture build-up — helping to maintain a healthy roof structure in both new and existing buildings.

Versatile and Practical Design

This universal vent can be used on roofs with a minimum pitch of 12.5°, offering flexibility across a wide range of roof types. It enables direct ventilation into the roof space or can be connected to an internal ducted system, making it suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, and general roof void ventilation.

Strong, Weatherproof Performance

Engineered with performance in mind, the Universal Roof Tile Vent features an integrated lead-alternative flashing for a watertight seal on all tile profiles. Its shaped base channels rainwater safely back onto the roof, preventing water ingress while maintaining excellent airflow. The UV-stabilised polypropylene top ensures durability and long-lasting protection, even under continuous sunlight exposure.
