Bathroom & Kitchen vent solution
This product is a combination of the new galvanised steel ’venting’ tile and a PVC adapter for the tile, which directly expels kitchen and bathroom air to the outside through your roof ! Unlike most other ventilation system, these have no moving parts. Hence, they are silent and have no risk of breaking or seize up.
The roof tile with the PVC adaptor can be easily installed to your roof by a local roofer. You can pre-paint these galvanised steel tiles to match the colour of your roof, and stays "invisble". This venting solution uses no electrical energy to operate and are therefore 100% environment friendly!

How The Building Centre can assist you, if you wish to engage the expertise
If you are serious about seeking professional advice or solutions based on working with reputable people, who have extensive knowledge and experience, The Building Centre can assist you. For reasons of legal liability and not being able to see the circumstances, we do not provide advice nor information over the telephone.
To help you with ideas, advice, or problem solving, we work with a Network of independent, knowledgeable and experienced consultants, who we call Quality Professional Consultants (QPC), to whom we can introduce you. There are fees for their services and expertise.
In order to help you with your problems or needs, you need to engage one of these Quality Professional Consultants to come out and properly assess your individual situation. Only by attending on-site, be it a home, office, factory, building site or strata block, can our Quality Professional Consultants accurately determine the proper solution for your particular problem or need. See our "Get It Right" Advice, Inspections and Reports services section for detailed information and greater insight into the array of specialist assistance that is available to help you, if you are prepared to pay for this expertise and advice.
Additionally we can introduce you to a `Building´ Solicitor, whose unique background in 'law' and 'building' is invaluable when dealing with building matters, which are of a legal nature. These could include building contractural matters, disputes handling and resolution, including representation and legal advice before, during or after the building process. See an outline of the scope of these Legal Advice Services below.
To assist you with a vast range of supply and installation solutions, for new or replacement needs, we have assembled a growing Network of trustworthy, ethical, capable, complying and experienced contracting companies we call Quality Service Providers (QSP).
These QSP are proper licensing and insured. Read about the range of "Start to Finish" services below. These QSPs will only offer quality materials and workmanship, which may not be the cheapest solution because we do not believe you want the cheapest end product.
Be aware, our experience confirms that the cheapest price has usually meant cheap work and cheap materials, which invariably and quickly fail, as we are often contacted by distraught home owners. It then becomes VERY expensive as the faulty or defective work has to be rectified or legal action commenced!! We know this as we are regularly contacted by people seeking help or remedies for such 'poor quality' and problems often caused by unlicensed work. Entrust your needs to The Building Centre's Network of Quality Service Providers!!
We also can arrange for reliable residential and commercial property repairs and maintenance in large population centres in ACT, NSW, QLD and VIC. See our "RAPID Repairs & Essential Maintenance" services.
