Underfelt
VENTILATED UNDERFELTS
Ventilated underfelts are made of diusion tight materials. The
moisture is removed from the roof construction as the cavity
between insulation and underfelt is ventilated with fresh air.
The air circulation under a ventilated underfelt may be obstructed
in one or more roof sections when a window is installed. To ensure
ventilation in the roof section aected, it is recommended either:
• to t ventilation pieces in the underfelt material (1) or
• to establish ventilation holes at the top of the rafters (2), so that
air can flow to/from the adjoining roof section.
This must be done both above and below the window.
The lack of a ventilation path below the underfelt may result in
accumulation of moisture in rafters and insulation material. This
may reduce the performance of the insulating layer and cause rot
damages.
