Product Information

This rot can eventually cause the joists to become soft at the bearing ends, usually in or on the support walls, as these tend to be the coolest areas with the least air circulation. Competitive prices: We are sure that our prices are always the lowest around. This makes us an attractive option for customers who are looking for a cost-effective solution. The cavity tray should be inserted over an air vent where the cavity is bridged as shown in the image below, but we cover this in more detail in our project about wall cavities, so please look there if you are in any doubt.

Please note mesh cannot legally be used (UK – current GAS Safe and HETAS regulations apply) on vents where the vents are required to feed a combustion appliance or the room where there is a combustion appliance.We suggest you hire a 300mm long, 10mm bit for this project, and you can talk to the hire shop about the most suitable drill for the job. However if the joist is soft and spongy, or so flaky that your screwdriver pushes into the timber easily, then the joist is rotten below the surface. Once this level of decay has set in, new timbers need to be fitted. At best you will get some damp or mould forming because of the condensation, a problem we explore further in our damp or mould project. Fine grade stainless steel mesh with plastic surround. Can be either glued or screwed in place, available in Small (245 x 95mm), Medium (245 x 170mm) or Large (245 x 245mm). Also Effective against Masonry Bees

Replace rotten joist ends by fitting joist end repair plates and splicing in new timber – Image courtesy of Property Repair Systems Rodents such as rats, mice, and squirrels cannot enter our Air Vent Covers because they are meticulously designed to prevent them. Featuring heavy-duty mesh with 2mm holes, the covers effectively prevent rodents from gaining access. In addition to deterring rodents, the mesh size allows optimal airflow, ensuring both protection and ventilation for your property. In addition, they can even deter smaller pests like spiders, ants, wasps, and bees. Homeowners can protect their properties from a wide range of unwanted pests by installing these covers. How Do the Air Vent Covers Deter Pests Like Wasps or Bees? As we mentioned when the air is prevented from freely circulating, condensation forms underneath the floor. As you can see from the image above a timber wall plate is laid on top of the sleeper wall to allow a fixing from the joist to the wall to be fitted. However in the worst case scenario the moisture leads to dry rot, which will need specialist treatment to cure it.

Pests such as wasps, bees, ants, and spiders are deterred by our Air Vent Covers. With 2mm holes, the fine mesh structure acts as a barrier, making it almost impossible for such pests to pass through or establish nests behind the covers. While these insects are small, the mesh size is strategically selected to prevent them from escaping while still maintaining optimal airflow. Properly installed, the covers create a solid seal against the building, eliminating gaps or spaces that pests can exploit. Homeowners can maintain a cleaner, safer living environment by using air vent covers because they provide a physical barrier that prevents infestations. Can They Be Used for Internal Vents?

Quality products: We offer high-quality products that are designed to meet the needs of a wide range of customers. The flood screen is a cork gasket that can be used to replace the mesh when flooding is imminent and likely to occur , it is then removed when danger has passed. It is useful to keep on standby for ground floor installations especially in low lying areas, properties near the coast or rivers or properties in an area with a history of flooding.For more information on the causes of condensation and for a guide on how to solve condensation problems please see our condensation project. What Happens Without Ventilation?

Most properties with wooden floors on the ground floor will have a void, or gap, underneath. The air in this void can get stale and humid if it is not encouraged to circulate freely. Humid air carries a great deal of moisture, in fact the warmer the air the more moisture it can hold. Can be easily installed with a suitable adhesive or fixing screws (not included) If glued, they will need to be held into place until glue goes off.

Tesco Mobile is to start charging new and recently joining pay-monthly customers to use their mobiles in Europe from 2024.In a job in Forest Hill, London, where the client wanted a new timber floor to replace the old, damaged, Victorian floorboards, we lifted the existing floorboards to find the timber joists had rotted in the far corners of the room. The act of circulating air ensures that cold or damp air is not allowed to sit in any voids or empty space as if it is then this is a sure way that timbers and other materials will be damaged and in most cases by the time you realise it’s too late and substantial cost and hassle is the only way to then get it sorted. This condensation is simply water from the air settling on the wood, and wet wood can cause the boards and joists to rot from the underside. This can be done very simply with 4 inch (100mm) drain pipes laid side by side as extension tubes for your vents.
