install Passive air Vent, but external wall has tile

[daxu7509]

Hi,
I have some damp issue and would like to install passive air vent in my bedrooms. However the external wall has tile on, so do I need some special tools to drill a hole in the tile?

I was thinking maybe I just drill a hole in the wall and leave the tile as it is? The tile itself will be the front cover. Will that work?

Many Thanks

I thought they're supposed to extract via the roof (a tile vent).

A lead slate is required

Is it for wall tile? The ones I can search on google seems are for roofs.

If you can't find one or have one made for vertical use, then you can use a standard roof one. The opening will be the same to fit a 100mm pipe its just they it need cutting down much more

Hi,I can't see any air vent in my bedroom at the moment, do you mean I should install some roof vent instead? Sounds much more work than just dig a hole on the wall though
