-
Can a battery pack be installed to the Roof Scoop?The long-term performance of a battery can not match the longevity of the Roof Scoop. For our product to remain maintenance free and consistant in performance, we do not provide a battery powered option.
-
Is ventilation more effective than insulation at keeping the summer heat out?Ventilation and insulation complement each other. Insulation will slow down the heat from entering the living space while ventilation will regulate the roof space temperature. Prevention vs cure.
-
Is the Roof Scoop waterproof during strong wind driven rain?Waterproofing was a factor in our decision to produce custom-made vents. The Roof Scoop is not a "one-size fits all" vent. It fits your tile perfectly, making it more waterproof as it will not break as a tile would.
-
Will the Roof Scoop Air still be effective on non-windy days?Yes. When there is a temperature difference between two adjoining volumes of air the warmer air will have lower density and be more buoyant thus will rise above the cold air creating an upward air stream. This will create a pressure difference creating a natural draft through the roof space.
-
Is the Roof Scoop noisy?No. The Roof Scoop is whisper quite.
-
How many will i need to install?No two houses are the same. A package built for your humble single storey, two-bedroom home may not be sufficient for your neighbours two storey, five-bedroom mansion. We provide onsight evaluations so that we can tailor an adequate package for your specific requirements.
-
What is the average cost for a Roof Scoop system?We can provide packaged within most peoples budget thanks to our highly customised product. We have units for as little as $220 and multi-unit packages starting from $640.

Can the Roof Scoop be installed to a metal roof?We have a corrugated metal roof profile available in the entire Colorbond range. We do not have an option for flat metal roofs.
-

Will solar panel installation affect the Roof Scoops?Solar panels can cover the RS AIr but not the RS Storm Solar Scoops. The RS Storms are typically installed close to the ridge caps and away from solar panels.
