Ventilation & Fire Ventilation Experts

The industry term for a roof turbine ventilator is commonly known as a Whirlybird, which literally means helicopter. Helicopters have spinning blades, and Whirlybirds typically have cylindrical domes with fins that spin in the wind to create a vacuum, sucking up warm air out of a building. The term Whirlybird® Turbine Ventilator is registered as a trademark by a company in Jacksonville, Arkansas, in the United States (2013). However Wikipedia describes a Whirlybird as an Atti

With the Covid-19 lockdown in full operation it undoubtedly tends to lead to various questions that needs to be carefully looked at and considered. We found this very well laid out guideline for ventilation, specifically the design, construction and maintenance of an effective natural ventilation system for control of infection in a health care setting. World Health Organization Guidelines 2009 Authors: World Health Organization Publication Details: Editors: James Atkinson, Y

Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a structure and the application of environmentally responsible and resource-efficient processes throughout a building's lifecycle: From planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. (Wikipedia) It’s a well-known fact that buildings are responsible for large consumption of energy, electricity, water and material. Green buildings aim to reduce the env

Fire dampers are passive fire protection products used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts to prevent the spread of fire inside the ductwork. Ducts are conduits or passages used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) to deliver and remove air. When a rise in temperature occurs, the fire damper closes, usually activated by a thermal element which melts at temperatures higher than ambient but low enough to indicate the presence of a fire, a

Powder coating comprise a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat. It is conventionally used to produce a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is principally used for coating of metals, such as household appliances, aluminium extrusions, drum hardware and automob

Louvres consist of parallel horizontal blades built from various materials – glass, wood, aluminium – that controls light infiltration and airflow into the building. They allow air and light to pass through whilst keeping out undesired elements such as dirt, debris, water, rain, moisture or the sunshine. Louvres are, fundamentally, a ventilation product. The design of louvres, which includes the blade and the frame, differs depending on the type of ventilation required. Diffe

It is always reassuring to know that the product you require for your ventilation applications, delivers when it comes to its purpose.

In layman’s terms, automated windows represent windows that open and close automatically and works with an electric windows system. It is typically positioned in public buildings such as in shopping malls and office blocks. These automation are a cost-effective solution for a smoke ventilation system while also assisting with natural heating and cooling strategy. How do they work? Automated windows can be controlled from automated systems or with the help of a remote control.

Rooftop turbine vents is a type of an exhaust vent. They have fins that open when they turn in the wind, and this spinning action creates suction that draws hot, humid and stale air outside. In most situations, turbine vents need little or no maintenance, but it’s not impossible for problems to occur as listed below: 1. Obstructions or rust in vents : Normally the force of even a slight breeze will cause the turbine vents to spin. As it spins, the air blown from the vent is s

A turbine vent is a passive rooftop ventilation device. With the slightest breeze a roof turbine vent starts to spin. As soon as it starts to spin, it vacuums hot air out of the building. The faster it spins, the more air it exhausts. In contrast, an active ventilation device might be an electrical powered fan or roof ventilator. Passive vents work for free and in almost all instances are very quiet. Contact our turbine experts on 011 826 5959 with your roof turbine requireme
