Supa Vent Wind Driven Ventilator

The Supa Vent wind driven ventilator is a roof turbine that uses natural wind to draw hot, moist air out of the roof space. When the wind spins the head, it creates a suction that pulls stale air from the roof cavity, which lowers the temperature and reduces condensation without using any electricity. It is a simple design that suits homes, sheds and commercial buildings where passive ventilation is the goal.

How It Works

The head of the turbine spins in the wind, and that rotation draws air out of the roof space through the vent. On a calm day it still allows warm air to rise out through the unit, but the real performance comes when the wind is blowing, which is when the roof space needs the most help clearing heat. Because there is no motor, there is nothing to fail and nothing to wire up.

Applications

• Roof space ventilation on residential homes
• Sheds, workshops and commercial buildings
• Reducing heat build-up and condensation in the roof cavity
• Energy-free ventilation for off-grid and eco-conscious builds

What You Need To Complete The Job

For a powered alternative that moves air regardless of wind, consider a solar vent like the Bradford SolarXVENT. Where the turbine connects to a duct run, use flexible foil ducting. Browse the Roof Ventilation range for the full selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Supa Vent need electricity?

No. It is powered entirely by the wind. The head spins and draws air out of the roof space, so there is no wiring, no switch and no running cost.

What does it do to the roof space?

It draws hot, moist air out of the roof cavity, which lowers the temperature and reduces condensation. That helps protect the roof framing, sarking and insulation from heat and damp damage.

What roofs does it suit?

It suits tile, metal and sheet roofs, which covers most homes, sheds and commercial buildings. The mounting suits the roof profile it is fitted to.

Does it work when the wind is calm?

It works best when the wind is blowing, which is when the roof needs the most help clearing heat. The unit still allows warm air to rise out through the vent when the wind drops, but a powered or solar unit gives more consistent airflow.

Is the Supa Vent noisy in operation?

The turbine runs on the wind and is generally quiet in normal conditions. Like any rotating roof vent, it can be audible in very strong wind, and the sound depends on the bearing condition. The design is simple, with no electrical parts to fail.

Can it be fitted to a shed?

Yes. The Supa Vent suits sheds, workshops and commercial buildings as well as homes, because the wind driven design needs no power supply. Fit it high on the roof where hot air gathers, and the turbine draws the heat out as the wind turns the head.
