VENTAIR

Ventilated Cladding Sheets

Lack of adequate ventilation is a major hazard in livestock housing. The use of Ventair ventilated side cladding sheets creates a clean and healthy environment. Humidity within the building, combined with low outside temperatures, creates condensation. A damp humid atmosphere is one of the worst environmental conditions of animal housing. Too high a temperature, on the other hand, results in increased metabolic rates and poor food conversation. To avoid both these problems, fresh air must circulate constantly within the building. Moist air must be evacuated from the building and replaced with clean air. Outlet ventilation of at least 0.05 sq metres per animal is essential.

Ventair is made in 32mm reversed box profile and specifically shaped louvres are cut into the broad ribs. Louvres are cut across the full width of the sheet and to any length required down the sheet. Ventair louvres offer little resistance to airflow and help direct the incoming air upwards, keeping the building free from draughts.

Another method of ventilation popular with livestock producers is the use of tanalised timber space boarding. CLICK HERE to visit our timber page.
