How Tornado Whirlybird Roof Ventilators Work
Tornado Whirlybird Roof Ventilators work by using wind energy to spin their turbine. As the turbine rotates, it creates suction, drawing hot and moist air out of the roof space. This continuous natural airflow:
-
Cools the roof cavity in summer, preventing heat build-up.
-
Removes moisture during winter, stopping condensation and dampness.
-
Works day and night, 365 days a year, without electricity.
Because they run entirely on natural wind power, they are silent, cost-free to operate, and require no ongoing maintenance.
