Klober reveals 27% growth of year-on-year sales

Roofing manufacturer, Klober has revealed an 27.4% surge in year-on-year sales for its tile vent offering, which it attributes to growing awareness of the need to address roofspace ventilation.

Roof tile vents provide essential air circulation in the roof space and can reduce the risk of condensation and the build-up of moisture. High demand for these products was reflected in Klober’s annual customer insights survey, which investigates how to better meet the needs of merchant partners. 71% of those surveyed purchase Klober’s tile vents reflecting the brands focus on delivering highest quality offerings.

Nick King, portfolio manager at Klober, said: “These trends present a clear picture. As the management of moisture in homes has become more crucial, we have seen an increased focus on retrofitting components that aid ventilation, which indicates growing awareness of the dangers of condensation and associated mould growth. We’re keen to continue working with contractors and merchant customers to deliver efficient domestic solutions that preserve homeowner safety.”

King explained that the surge in sales provides a panorama of the industry’s wider understanding of the importance of ventilation and can be attributed to increased guidance from Government. In particular, key updates to building regulations are affecting construction, with new ventilation requirements coming into effect in 2025 under the Future Homes and Building Standard.

“In cases where moisture control in the roof space is overlooked, there is a heightened risk of mould formation occurring in rooms below,” King added. “This can lead to health risks including respiratory problems, infections and allergies, and the worsening of existing conditions such as asthma.

“As we approach the winter months, these dangers are likely to be exacerbated if not addressed. Therefore, it’s reassuring to see that Klober Tile Vents are one of the top products purchased. We’re witnessing a clear response, which is fundamental as the spotlight continues to be placed on creating healthy living spaces,” concluded Nick.
