Effectively cope with the task of providing clean indoor air will help adjustable ventilation grills that are installed on various types of ventilation - supply and exhaust, as well as supply and exhaust.
Why ventilation is needed blinds
The main advantage of louvres, except for decoration (hide flaws on the wall) and protection against ingress of foreign objects into the ventilation, the ability to control the flow of air, enhancing or weakening it.
Important: at a certain tilt of the blades, air is drawn into the room or drawn out of it more intensely.
Where is the ventilation louver grill used?
This ventilation element is used wherever there is an air duct or its installation is necessary:
- for ventilation of apartments, houses, other residential and office premises;
- to provide high-quality air to industrial facilities, warehouses, farm buildings;
- to adjust the humidity of the underground spaces (installed on the foundation).
Kinds
Ventilation blinds are made of two types of material - metal and plastic. Both options are widespread and have both their advantages and disadvantages.
Features of metal products
Metal products - very durable, but this does not mean that such a grill will always work flawlessly, especially if there are small parts. The widespread belief that metal products are more durable is not confirmed by practice.
Attention: metal blinds are subject to corrosion, therefore it is not recommended to install them in rooms with high humidity.
Features of plastic products
Plastic blinds from modern manufacturers are also quite durable. Their main advantage is resistance to moisture, but some plastic parts can fail faster due to the fact that they often move.
Functional purpose
Products of an adjustable type have a simple design (when the angle of the blinds changes due to rotation around the axis), which, nevertheless,provides their excellent functionality:
- Provide forced ventilation of the premises. This is important, since in this case it is possible to adjust the direction of the air flow.
- Some products come together with fine mesh.which performs the function of a coarse filter.
- In the case when constant ventilation of the room is not necessary or even undesirable, such a grid is very easy to close. This is convenient in case of ventilation of underground spaces: in wet weather, the blinds on the foundation are closed and open at normal humidity.
How to install
Installing the blinds on the duct is easy, the main thing is to know the exact dimensions and design of this element. When it is mounted during construction, this process usually does not cause any difficulties.
Another thing, if you need to equip ventilation at an already constructed facility, then you have to cut a hole in the wall or ceiling. It is not always possible to do this qualitatively yourself, because the error in a centimeter or a few is noticeable and affects the quality and the possibility of installing a grill, so it is better to contact an experienced master.
Metal grilles are more durable. When installing plastic blinds, work should be carried out more carefully so as not to damage the structure at the attachment points. The main thing is to install the grille so that nothing prevents the blinds from moving freely.
