Low Profile Roof Vent 150 / 200mm

The low profile roof vent is a discreet roof-mounted vent that moves air out of the roof space without adding a tall unit to the roofline. It is available in 150mm and 200mm diameters, and in four Colorbond-matching colours, so it can be matched to the roof finish instead of standing out. The low profile keeps wind resistance down and blends with both tiled and metal roofs, which makes it a popular choice for homes where a turbine would be too visible.

Installation

The vent mounts to the roof at the position where warm air collects, usually high on the roof or near the ridge. Cut the opening to the vent size, fit the flashing and secure the unit so it sits flat against the roof profile. The low profile keeps the unit close to the roof, which reduces wind load and keeps the roofline looking clean.

Applications

• Roof space ventilation on residential and commercial roofs
• Metal, tile and slate roof systems
• Homes where a discreet vent is wanted over a turbine
• Reducing condensation and heat build-up in the roof cavity

What You Need To Complete The Job

Where the vent connects to a duct run, use flexible foil ducting to carry the airflow. For a wind-driven option that moves more air on an exposed roof, consider the Windmaster 300mm. Browse the Roof Ventilation range for the full selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes does it come in?

It is available in 150mm and 200mm diameters. The 200mm moves more air, so it suits larger roof spaces, while the 150mm is a good fit for a standard residential roof cavity.

What colours can I get?

It comes in Surfmist, Basalt, Monument and Shale Grey, which match the common Colorbond roof palette. That lets the vent sit naturally on the roof instead of standing out against it.

Does it need power?

No. It is a passive roof vent that lets warm air rise out of the roof space through the unit. There are no fans or wiring, so nothing to run or maintain.

Is it suitable for tile roofs?

Yes. It suits metal, tile and slate roofing systems. The flashing and mounting are designed to fit the roof profile it is installed on.

Does the low profile reduce the airflow?

No. The low profile is about the visual height of the unit on the roof, not the vent opening. The 150mm and 200mm sizes still move a full volume of air out of the roof cavity, while sitting close to the roof line to cut wind resistance.

Can it be installed on a steep roof?

Yes. The vent mounts to the roof profile and works on a range of pitches. On a steep roof, position it high where warm air collects, and make sure the flashing seals against the profile so water runs past the vent rather than under it.
