When it comes to roof ventilation, there’s no one‑size‑fits‑all solution. Different tiles, profiles and projects need different vents — and that’s exactly why we stock the full range. Whether you’re finishing a new roof, replacing like‑for‑like on a repair, or connecting an extractor/soil stack, we’ll have a vent suitable for the job and ready to go.

At Cresta Roofing Supplies, we’ve built our range around what local roofers ask for every day: reliable, profile‑matched vents that look right, fit right and perform in all weather.

Why Proper Roof Ventilation Matters

Good ventilation keeps roof spaces dry, reduces condensation, protects timbers, and helps ventilation systems (like bathroom or kitchen extractors) perform as they should. Choosing a profile‑matched vent not only looks better on the roof — it also helps ensure good weathering and long‑term durability.

If you’re terminating a soil stack or connecting to MEV/MVHR or an extractor fan, ask us about the suitable adaptor and 110mm flexi pipe to complete the install.

Quick Tips for Choosing the Right Vent

  1. Identify the tile/profile (e.g., Double Roman, Single/Double Pantile, Regent, Stonewold MK2, Plain, Non‑Profiled, Thin Leading Edge).
  2. Decide the purpose: general roof space ventilation vs. duct/soil connection.
  3. Get the right connector: 100/110mm adaptor (plain, standard or multi‑stepped) to suit your ducting.
  4. Plan the route: use a 110mm flexi pipe for tight spaces and easier alignment.

Not sure? We’ll do the matching for you — that’s what we’re here for.

When it comes to building or refurbishing a roof, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right roofing membrane. A high-quality membrane protects your home from water ingress, improves energy efficiency, and ensures long-term durability. But with so many options available, how do you know which one is best for your project?

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about roofing membranes, including types, benefits, and the Vent 3 range we stock at Cresta Roofing Supplies.

What is a Roofing Membrane?

A roofing membrane is a protective layer installed beneath roof tiles or slates. Its primary role is to:

  • Prevent water penetration from rain and snow.
  • Allow moisture to escape from inside the property.
  • Improve insulation and energy efficiency.

Types of Roofing Membranes

  1. Breathable Membranes

     

    • Ideal for pitched roofs.
    • Allows moisture vapour to escape, reducing condensation risk.
    • Commonly used in modern roofing systems.
  2. Non-Breathable Membranes

     

    • Traditional option, often paired with ventilation systems.
    • Less common today due to condensation concerns.
  3. High-Performance Membranes

     

    • Designed for extreme weather conditions.
    • Offers superior tear resistance and durability.

Our Vent 3 Range

  • Vent 3 Classic
    A reliable, cost-effective breathable membrane suitable for most pitched roof applications.

Key Benefits of Breathable Roofing Membranes

  • Moisture Control: Prevents damp and mould by allowing vapour to escape.
  • Energy Efficiency: Helps maintain consistent insulation performance.
  • Durability: Resistant to tearing and UV degradation.

How to Choose the Right Membrane

When selecting a roofing membrane, consider:

Climate: Areas with heavy rain or wind need stronger membranes.

Building Regulations: Ensure compliance with UK standards.

Budget: Higher-quality membranes offer better long-term value.
