Business Products
• COOL-PHASE® active ventilation systems which utilise PCM (phase change material) and provides considerably low energy consumption cooling that gives a comfortable room temperature.
• WINDCATCHER® natural ventilation systems that provide a controlled amount of clean, fresh air into a room from roof level, regardless which direction the wind is coming from and with no mechanical assistance.
• SOLA-BOOST® solar assisted natural ventilation systems utilise the WINDCATCHER technologies together with a solar driven fan to ensure additional air flow on sunny days.
• WINDCATCHER® X-Air next generation natural ventilation systems are a development of the WINDCATCHER range. X-Air is manufactured from recyclable materials with excellent structural and UV stability. Features include adverse weather rejection; patented LED architectural lighting; the patented corner fin accommodates a lighting feature, which allows a range of optional colour preferences to be specified. Other features improve performance, these include: ACTIVLOUVRE® modulating aerofoil technology featuring louvre blades that minimise resistance and maximise airflow and an internal system that provides significantly smoother internal airflow.
• SUNPIPE® natural daylight systems provide daylight to areas where windows cannot reach via a highly reflective silverised tube.
• SUNCATCHER® natural ventilation and natural daylight systems provide controlled natural ventilation by using the Monodraught WINDCATCHER natural ventilation system principles and natural daylight from the SUNPIPE natural daylight system within one composite unit.
• SOLA-VENT® natural daylight and solar powered extract ventilation systems contain a SUNPIPE system, a solar-powered extract fan and two down-lighters. These systems are ideally suited to internal bathrooms and shower rooms where it ensures that current Building Regulations for ventilation are met.
