SUB-FLOOR VENTS…
How important are subfloor vents?? The answer.. VERY IMPORTANT!
Subfloor vents provide airflow to the concealed timber underneath your floor, keeping them at a safe level of moisture. Often we speak to clients who seal their vents to keep the property warmer, to stop any creepy crawlies getting in or even just covering with things like your bin, plant pots flower beds etc, but doing so can have a detrimental affect on your home such as..
SUB FLOOR CONDENSATION
WET ROT
DRY ROT
WOODWORM ATTACK
Any of the above can be very damaging and also very costly to fix, so when your considering closing or covering your subfloor vents please think again. If your unsure if your sub floor is being adequately ventilated, we are always happy to help so please get in touch.
