Over Fascia Vent – G2500N/BMG2500N
Over fascia vents offer a practical and cost-efficient solution for ventilating eaves on buildings. They’re easy to install, discreet, and compatible with both timber and Metal fascias.
Specifically designed for structures lacking eaves or soffits, the G2500N Over Fascia Vent facilitates airflow into the roof space between the roof membrane and fascia board.
This product exceeds compliance with the National Construction Code 2022 Vol 1: F8D5 / ABCB Housing Provisions Standard 10.8.3, ensuring superior performance.
Compatible with both Concrete Tile and Metal roofs, the G2500N is suitable for new construction projects as well as re-roofing applications.
Its application depends on the pitch and design of the roof construction. The G2500N features evenly spaced openings that prevent large insects from gaining access while allowing airflow to prevent capillary action.
This vent can be used independently or in conjunction with other VENT Systems products to create a comprehensive passive ventilation system.

For applications in BAL zones, VENT Systems has created the BMG2500N, an enhanced version of the G2500N with a fitted ember guard crafted from non-combustible, corrosion-resistant materials such as steel, bronze, or aluminium mesh. The mesh aperture conforms to Clause 3.6 of AS3959:2018, with a maximum allowable opening of 2 mm.
VENT Systems specialises in ventilation and internal moisture management. Any guidance regarding the BMG2500N should be considered in conjunction with the latest version of AS3959, the National Construction Code, and any applicable local regulations. It’s essential to collaborate with building certifiers, fire engineers, or specialised bush fire consultants to ensure compliance and safety in all applications.
