With the ongoing improvements to building regulations and a focus on insulating homes for greater energy efficiency the need for ventilation can be overlooked. Adequate ventilation within the home is essential and has been shown to have positive impacts on the health and well-being of householders.
During the last 10-15 years the requirement for whole house ventilation and recovery systems has became more prevalent. As systems developed and designs progressed, the need for through wall ventilation products increased. With an estimated 63% of homes reliant on ‘background’ ventilation and a lack of suitable options on the market core drilling became a popular choice for installing a suitable vent inlet / outlet.
However, core drilling brings it’s own set of challenges; a good standard of control is required due to the risk to health and it can be a messy and time consuming job.
Recognising that there was a need for a product that was quick and easy to fit Manthorpe developed a range of products that eliminated core drilling and required little time to install.
With unequalled geometric free area flow of up to 16,856mm² the Thru…air range of build in, telescopic airbrick systems is ideal for new builds and can be used with most ventilation systems including MVHR and MEV.
The versatile design provides a ventilation outlet/inlet that can be used with a choice of 4, 5 or 6 inch standard pipes that connect to a single, double or triple Manthorpe Airbrick. Thru…Air allows for the ventilation terminal to be conveniently built into the brickwork during construction which eliminates the need for specialist equipment or retrospective core drilling.
Installing the pre-assembled Thru…air is easy. Its innovative telescopic pipe provides ease of operation and offers the installer peace of mind that it will fit a wall width between 300mm-440mm without the costly and time-consuming effort of cutting product on-site. Removing this process not only reduces waste, eliminates the potential health and safety risks and results in a tidy finish.
Thru…air is available in single, double or triple airbrick options and comes in a choice of six colours: Brown, Terracotta, White, Buff, Grey and Blue/Black.
