Whirlybirds are the most common type of residential roofing ventilation. They are wind powered ventilation systems used to remove air from a ceiling space in the home. When wind starts to spin the whirlybird, the heat from inside the roof is pulled out through the vent, which helps the home cool down and reduce air-based moisture within the premises.
Apart from moderating ceiling temperature in summer, roof ventilators work just as efficiently in winter. They help keep the roof cavity dry of moisture and condensation caused from bathroom fans, which means avoiding mould and mildew growth on ceilings.
Keep in mind that our DTM Metal roof ventilators are not suitable for all roof types. Please feel free to ask us whether whirly birds would be beneficial for your home before booking your free site visit.
Please note: we only undertake residential whirlybird installations when combined with a full roof replacement.
By expelling hot air from your home's roof space, whirlybirds reduce the burden on air conditioners. This makes these cooling systems more effective during periods of hot temperatures.
Since whirlybirds operate without electricity, they are an incredible roof ventilator option that costs nothing to run. This makes them a smart choice for eco-conscious homeowners looking to save on energy bills.
Proper ventilation is crucial in preventing moisture buildup in your roof cavity. Whirlybirds help maintain a dry environment, protecting your home from potential mould and water damage.
By maintaining a cooler and drier roof space, whirlybirds contribute to the longevity of your roof materials — especially in metal roofs, which are susceptible to condensation and heat damage.
Whirlybirds promote continuous air exchange in roof cavities, which improves the overall air quality inside your home by preventing stagnant air and its associated health issues.
Unlike some air conditioners and other roof ventilators, whirlybirds operate silently, ensuring there is no noise disruption to your home environment.

Got many quotes and ended up choosing DTM, competitive quoting. Work was completed on time and the only disappointing part was the unannounced work so workers rocking up with no notice a couple times although the roof looks great, gutters, gutter guard, insulation etc. Still picking up odd screws and bits of metal etc in the grass though!Posted on Jennifer RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just had our colourbond roof replaced on our home. The team at DTM were brilliant. From quoting to getting the roof replaced. We couldn’t fault anything. The worksite was left spotlessly clean at the end of each day. Communication was excellent. So glad we chose DTM Metal Roofing for our roof replacement.Posted on James BrentonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you DTM!

Absolutely amazing experience with DTM Metal Roofing. The whole team was professional, reliable, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. Massive shoutout to the DTM Trades for taking the time to make sure I was informed at the beginning and end of each day with my project and answering all my questions in the process.Posted on Paula O’ConnellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had DTM Metal Roofing replace our old tile roof on our home in Kedron with a new Colorbond roof, and honestly, we couldn’t be happier. From our first meeting with Jack through to Lekia coordinating everything behind the scenes, the whole process was easy and stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout, and we always knew what was happening and when. The crew on site were friendly, professional, and worked incredibly hard. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their work, and the finished result speaks for itself. Our house looks completely different, and we’ve already had several comments from friends and neighbours about how good it looks. It’s not often you come across a company where every person you deal with is helpful, responsive, and takes pride in what they do, but that’s exactly what we experienced with DTM. We were so happy with the outcome that we’ve already decided we’ll be using DTM again to replace the roof on our investment property next year. A big thank you to Jack, Lekia, and the entire team. We couldn’t recommend DTM Metal Roofing more highly.
