Rytons Cowled Super Acoustic Controllable LookRyt AirCore 125mm Square

AAC125HPCWL - Rytons Cowled Super Acoustic Controllable LookRyt AirCore

Retro-fitted core ventilator with external cowl for background room ventilation.
Allows the introduction of fresh outside air into the room to disperse moisture, odours and other airborne pollutants.
Use in noisy areas to reduce the amount of noise entering the building for a more peaceful environment.

External cowl protects against excessive weather conditions and alleviates air blasts through the cavity.
Unique draught reducing panel manually adjusted with an easy push/pull or tilt action allowing air to be controlled as required.

Paint or wallpaper the panel to match room d‚cor for a discreet appearance.
External water baffle prevents transfer of water across the cavity.
Cowl and external grille U.V. stabilised to slow down the effects of sunlight.
Patent No. GB 2523676.

Questions & Answers:

Will installing more than one vent to achieve a greater free area have an effect on the acoustic performance? We asked the BRE who said ?The performance of the ventilator will not degrade when you put in more of them. The composite sound insulation performance of the fa‡ade will degrade if you increase the number of ventilators, assuming that they are one of the weaker links.?

Will the vent reduce sound from inside to outside as well as from outside to inside? The BRE has advised us that it?s reasonable to assume that ?reciprocity? applies to the vents. That is, the third octave values for sound reduction index are the same in both directions (out to in and in to out).
