Central Extract Ventilation
The Problem
Current Building Regulations call for extractor fans in all wet areas of the property including the kitchen, bathroom, utility, ensuite, WC and trickle vents in all the windows to allow air back into the property, all at a cost to the homebuilder.
The Solution - Central Extract
With a Villavent® Central Extract ventilation system all wet areas (kitchen; bathroom; en-suites; WC and utility rooms) are linked via a central fan unit and a network of ducts.
The fan runs continually therefore negating the need for overrun facilities and time switches. By constantly extracting moisture and stale odours it creates a healthier living environment.
Fitting a Central Extract system forms part of the Building Regulations in Scandinavian countries.

How It Works
The Villavent® Central Extract fan unit is sited either integrally within a
Villavent® cooker-hood; mounted in the roof void or at high level in a cupboard.
Ducting connects the fan to ceiling/wall mounted extract louvers in the rooms being ventilated.
The fresh air is drawn into the rooms through small trickle vents fitted in the window frames. The pressure difference makes the
fresh air flow towards the wet rooms thus providing effective ventilation throughout the entire house.
The stale air is continually extracted from the rooms being ventilated and is discharged by the central fan to the outside.
Control of the system is either by means of the cooker-hood or by a remotely located control panel. Either of these gives a 3 speed setting, normal plus boost for rapid ventilation and with the option of a low speed setting if preferred.
Compliance
Current Building Regulations call for extractor fans in the 'wet' areas of the property and trickle vents in the windows.
Our systems comply with the current Building Regulations 2006 Part F and in Scotland standard 3.14.
