Manthorpe Ventilation Products

Modern construction practices have created thermally efficient buildings which require the installation of through wall ventilation products to prevent problems caused by condensation. Similarly, the increased use of suspended floors replacing the traditional concrete foundation has meant that the requirement to provide sufficient ventilation to the voids below floor level has also become paramount.

Building regulation and NHBC guidelines state that a gap between the ground and the underside of the floor should be provided to prevent the build up and passage of condensation and contamination air and that this void should be adequately ventilated.
