Wall penetrations

A Wall penetration is a component of the ventilation system that allows air to be expelled from inside to outside through the facade of a building. This vent ensures that air, from sources such as a range hood or dryer, is safely directed outside. Wall penetrations are suitable for various types of walls, such as cavity walls and solid walls. The design of the Wall penetration minimizes resistance, ensuring optimal airflow and preventing condensation within the wall. This makes them ideal for situations where air from ventilation systems or appliances, such as a dryer or range hood, needs to be expelled.

What is a Wall penetration commonly used for?

Wall penetrations are often used for air expulsion in residential and commercial buildings. A common application is the Wall penetration for dryers, which safely directs warm, moist air outside to prevent mold growth and moisture issues. Additionally, the Wall penetration for the range hood is used to expel cooking odors and grease particles, keeping the air in the kitchen clean and fresh.

For which ventilation systems is a Wall penetration suitable?

Wall penetrations are suitable for various ventilation systems, including mechanical heat recovery ventilation (MHRV) systems and mechanical ventilation (MV). With the Wall penetration, it is also possible to achieve air expulsion only.

What different types of Wall penetrations do we offer?

Wall penetration for natural ventilation: this Wall penetration is easy to install and does not require a connection to a ventilation system. They are often used for direct air intake or expulsion through a wall. This Wall penetration is ideal when no active ventilation is needed.
Wall penetration connectable to a ventilation system: this variant is designed to connect to ventilation systems such as MHRV or mechanical ventilation. They provide an efficient solution for air expulsion and can be used with systems that require constant air exchange.

How do you install a Wall penetration?

Installing a Wall penetration is relatively straightforward but requires care. During installation, the Wall penetration is typically connected to a spiral duct that runs through the wall. The Wall penetration must fit well with the spiral duct to prevent leaks and ensure the efficiency of the ventilation. The spiral duct is then connected to the air channels within the building, with the Wall penetration providing the final expulsion to the outside.

How do you maintain a Wall penetration?

Regular maintenance is important to ensure the optimal functioning of the Wall penetration. This includes checking and cleaning the ventilation grille to prevent dirt and dust buildup, which can restrict airflow. It is also advisable to periodically check the spiral duct and connections, especially after periods of intensive use, such as during winter.

The benefits of a Wall penetration

Efficient air expulsion: Wall penetrations provide reliable and efficient expulsion of contaminated air, maintaining indoor air quality.
Broad applicability: the Wall penetration is suitable for various walls and ventilation systems, making them versatile for use in both residential and commercial buildings.
Easy installation: the installation of the Wall penetration is simple and quick, whether it involves a ventilation grille through a cavity wall or spiral duct.
