The
Problem [back
to top]
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 [back
to top]
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 [back
to top]
 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 [back
to top]
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 1995 Part F Section 1.9d amended 2000.
