How did you go? So easy to cut yourself. For those who don't know there are right hand and left hand snips for cutting to the left or right. Also some snips have a kind of toothed edge. This makes it grip the material a little so it doesn't slip and you don't have to push so hard.

Cool!! I’m going to put this thing on my roof so you can go and watch on video later if i had installed this😀

20mm Vortex 12-14g metal screws with seals make job much smoother and quicker even for the top

Exactly what I’ve been looking, thanks

Thaks sir for another knowledge . Very helpful godbless

Great and very informative. Well done.

This is by far the best and most simple way to install wind turbine vents on a metal roof! Only thing you left out how you had to also cut the wood below the tin.

What if there is not much wind. Does this help in expelling hot air inside the house

@dennisperrie

Yes but it is more effective with a little wind as the fan works. Hot air will rise up and through the vent even if there is no wind.

Is it necessary to install ceiling vents along with this for the hot air to be extracted from our rooms? This is our first time installing it on our roof.

Cenyrifical force and the design means they dont leak. As the wind blows the turbine the internal fan extracts the air from the roof. In heat the air is expelled by covection so keep it high on your roof.

If it is in a factory unit, it will expell the hot air. If there is a ceiling that has insulation on it and the air is removed from between the ceiling and the roof then no it will not. So if your shop has no ceiling, yes it will.

I would use a Saber-saw to cut the hole in the metal. It would be easier, safer, faster, and more precise.
