A wide variety of roof ventilation fans, such as wind-driven roof extractors, turbine ventilators, powered roof exhaust fans, and static roof ventilators, are available from UAE providers. To remove hot air, pollutants, dampness, and stale air from attics, warehouses, factories, commercial buildings, and residential villas, this crucial air circulation equipment is needed. These fans are made to endure the severe UAE climate because they are made of sturdy materials including aluminum, galvanized steel, and UV-stabilized polycarbonate. They are essential for lowering heat accumulation, enhancing interior air quality, and generating large energy savings on air conditioning expenses.
Site evaluation, expert assistance, specialized fabrication for roof vent installation needs, and dependable delivery throughout all emirates—including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah—are among the services offered.
Typical UAE Price Range (AED):
• Standard Turbine Ventilator – 150–600/pc
• Static Roof Ventilator (low profile) – 100–400/pc
• Powered Roof Exhaust Fan (basic model) – 400–1,500/pc
• Industrial Roof Extract Fan (heavy-duty) – 1,000–5,000+/pc
• Roof Ventilation Fan Accessories (flashings, curb bases) – 50–300/pc.
Note: Pricing varies by fan size, material (polycarbonate/aluminum/GI), capacity (CFM), and features (bird guard, rain cover).
| Parameter | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Size/Diameter | Varies from 48 inches (1200mm) for huge industrial halls to 12 inches (300mm) for small attics |
| Airflow Capacity | Either cubic meters per minute (CMM) or cubic feet per minute (CFM). While commercial units can surpass 20,000 CFM, residential models usually fall between 1,000 and 5,000 CFM |
| Motor Type | Modern Electronically Commutated (EC) motors are preferred for their excellent energy efficiency and low power consumption, whether they are single-phase or three-phase |
| Construction Material | Aluminum for a mix of strength and lightness, UV-stabilized ABS plastic for lightweight applications, or galvanized steel for corrosion resistance are common materials used to make housing |
| Shutters | Include manual or automated shutters that keep dust and hot air out by opening when the fan runs and closing when it stops |
| Protection Rating | For weatherproof roof fans, look for IP classifications (such as IP44 and IP55), which show protection levels against moisture and solid objects |
A roof ventilation fan operates using the concepts of wind pressure and thermal buoyancy. While wind-driven roof extractors employ even a small breeze to create a suction effect, which pulls out the hot air trapped in your attic or building, hot air rises and leaves the vent.
The main advantages include lower indoor temperatures due to less heat buildup, considerable energy savings on air conditioning bills, and better indoor air quality due to the removal of contaminants, moisture, and stale air.
Both turbine ventilators and static roof ventilators are passive devices that run entirely on thermal and wind energy without the need for electricity. On the other hand, powered roof exhaust fans use electricity to remove air more forcefully.
The amount is determined by the size of your roof or attic. In principle, there should be one square foot of vent space for every 150–300 square feet of attic floor space; however, given the hot UAE environment, a professional evaluation is advised.
High-quality roof ventilation fans have waterproof seals and integrated flashings. Installing roof vents correctly is essential to guaranteeing a tight seal and stopping leaks.
