Draught Reducing Vent
Superior Fires appreciates that once you have a hole in the wall the natural process and character of the flow of air would mean that the colder outside air will be able to enter the building. The purpose of a ventilator is to protect from rain, vermin etc. entering while allowing a measured amount of air to enter, either for background or for combustion purposes. We at Superior fires won't mislead you by saying that you will not feel the incoming air and any manufacturer that does make a statement to this effect would be incorrect. Manufacturer's tests have shown a vastly reduced speed of air recorded due to the repeated change of direction while flowing through this product.
