Bricks Vents
Cement construction air brick vents with a brass wire mesh insert.
The best way to ventilate the sub floor of your home is with air cross flow and let nature do the work for you.
What is cross flow ventilation?
This means that air is able to travel through a brick vent on one side of the building through the sub floor and out the other side unimpeded through brick vents. These vents must not be below the soil level, and must not be covered or concealed by gardens and landscaping.
Homes that are double brick, terraces, duplexes, have dwarf walls, mounded earth piles in sub floor, on sloping blocks, or stored goods in the sub floor will not be able to achieve proper cross flow due to the above obstacles blocking the flow and will require a fan to move the air. For more information on these systems visit our Fan Forced Ducted system page.
Terracotta vents vs brass wire mesh vents
Brass wire mesh vents allow a much larger volume of air to enter than the old terracotta brick vents as the brass wire mesh allows almost complete air penetration through the mesh area. Brass wire mesh vents have no maintenance requirements, and can also be painted or rendered to suit your home. The brass mesh is corrosion resistant. Ember resistant vents are also available for homes in bush fire prone areas as required by council.
We are now able to offer terracotta vents for those who prefer the heritage look. Please contact our office for more
