Right First Time, Every Time
Cooler Ceilings, Longer-Lasting Timbers
Roof cavity temperatures across Molendinar can push past 60°C in summer, and the resulting heat damage is a common reason for BGT Roofing service callouts. That heat dries out roof timbers, accelerates membrane breakdown and pushes your aircon bill up - and a properly specified set of whirlybirds is one of the cheapest fixes for it. We install wind-driven whirlybirds, low-profile static vents and solar-powered roof ventilators across tiled and metal roofs. Quantity, placement and base flashing are all worked out on-site so the units actually move air rather than just looking the part. We can also install whirlybirds as part of a full restoration. Call 0412 884 644 to discuss roof ventilation for your Molendinar home.

What Proper Setup Looks Like
The difference between a whirlybird that works for fifteen years and one that leaks within two storms comes down to install detail:
- Placement - Set high on the roof on the prevailing-wind side, away from valleys, so they draw air through the cavity rather than spinning in a dead zone.
- Profiled base - Pre-formed metal base cut to the tile profile, not a flat plate squashed onto a curved tile.
- Bedded and sealed - Bedded into the roof with the right sealant for the substrate, with sarking cut cleanly back rather than torn open.
- Sized to the roof - Quantity worked out from the roof area, pitch and existing eave-vent capacity, not guessed at.
- Solar option - Where wind alone isn't enough, solar-powered units handle the still, hot afternoons that wind-driven vents can't.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most homes need between two and four wind-driven units to make a noticeable difference, sized to the roof area and pitch. A single token whirlybird on a 200 m² roof barely moves the dial — we calculate the right number on-site and put it in the quote.
