| | | Specially shaped vent top; hood configuration facilitates draining of any condensation via the perimeter vent holes. Note: condensed or leaking water drops can pose a threat to built-up membranes, or to ceilings. |
| | | Effectively reduces blisters, buckles and splits; Thaler relief vents, specified over and over again for 30 years, relieve vapour pressure generated under heated roof surfaces with faulty or improperly installed vapour retardes (and even good retardes) or damp building materials (prevents sealing of moisture in roof). |
| | | Available with one-way vent; RV-3 relief vents are equipped with EPDM diaphragm which prevents exterior air from entering vent-for critical or sensitive environmental applications e.g. refrigerated interiors. |
| | | Ideal retrofit vent; in "wet" roofs if the source of wetting can be eliminated, and the insulation is not soaked and has not deteriorated, Thaler vents, offering easy installation, can achieve some drying. this is preferable to replacing the roof-and may be the only course of action for some process-type buildings where the owner does not wish to have the roof opened for replacement. |
| | | No moving parts; static-type insert accessory with mineral wool insulation facilitates escape of moisture trapped in roof. Metal upstand on insert holds back any water penetrating the membrane. |
| | | Virtually maintenance-free; RV-1 models do not require any maintenance, however RV-2 models have removable hood for checking vent space condition. |
| | Written Installation Instructions; provided with every Thaler product. |
