    Great video. A mate of mine does roofs & installs these if the customer wants. He buys the bastion vents from Bunnings & hits them with a can of spray paint (misting spray) pre install & then if necessary again when installed. You can’t tell it wasn’t bought coloured from a few metres away, let alone the ground. Saves $100 per vent

    Don’t silicon all the bottom in order to leave a drainage hole.

    Thanks. A roof blanket would also go a long way to improving the thermal properties of the roof.

    Thank you so much for sharing. Very well done. Much appreciated. I had been wetting my pants about installing these on a tiny house, however with your demo thinking it will be a piece of cake.

    Great easy to follow video 👍 Would this type of vent be sufficient to install on a flat tin roof which is on a small room at the side of our house, which we use as a utility room here in england

    Not sure why you had to go underneath to fit the actual whirlybird vent ? Got it to the adjustable shaft then fit shaft with screws ?

    What will happen during rainy day?

    • @projectlex

      The design is such that water is prevented from getting through the fins and into the turbine itself, regardless of whether it is a windy day, or the rain is heavy or light.

    does the rainwater gets into the house when like there is a storm coming?

      @@projectlex I think it’s the best alternative and cost effective way of keeping the house/shed cool aside from installing radiant barriers I should say.

    does water gets inside if there is like hurricane or typhoon, rain together with fast wind?

      Hi Arvin. Don’t have such severe weather events like that where I live. Do get heavy rain & wind & had no issues.

      Was 2 years ago sorry I can’t recall. Also when I’m filming it takes a lot longer than normal.

    Hi, I would like to ask a question. I already installed 1 Whirlybird. And planning to install a ceiling exhaust fan. My question is, since I already have a whirlybird at the top of our roof, is it still necessary to add a separate duct for the exhaust fan? Or is it ok to just let the whirlybird suck the hot air from the exhaust fan?

    Is this hard to maintain? Does it need to be lubricated at some point to keep on spinning and will small leaves enter? Im thinking of installing one but worried about water seeping and leaves entering

    • @projectlex
      @projectlex  Рік тому

      The design is such that water & leaves are prevented from getting through the fins and into the turbine itself, regardless of whether it is a windy day, or the rain is heavy or light. No lubricant required unless it stops spinning when there’s wind

    • @trevorgillett6185
      @trevorgillett6185 7 місяців тому

      So how do you get to the part needing lubricant? Pull it all apart ?
