Vortice is proud to unveil its latest range of DMEV (decentralised mechanical extract ventilation) fans, offering a vital remedy for condensation and mould challenges faced by UK social housing providers.
Celebrated for their dependability and performance, these advanced fans can move over half a million litres of air in just 24 hours even at their minimal trickle speeds. It’s not difficult to see why these fans, which have features like automatic humidity boost and run-on timers as well as being IPX4 rated, are so popular.
However, when used in existing homes, they can struggle to meet the whole dwelling ventilation rates required by the latest Building Regulations due to the small number of ‘wet rooms’ in some of the UK’s older housing stock.
Landlords of social housing face difficult decisions; unsuitable ventilation can have serious health consequences and fans can be noisy because of the speed they are set at, often meaning that residents turn them off. Many old systems do not meet current Building Regulations thereby exposing the landlord to complaints.
The answer lies with the new Vortice AER DMEV 150 fan, which has a large diameter, perfectly suited for kitchens which are the primary source of moisture in most homes. As it is also IPX4 rated, it can be used in all wet rooms where traditional options are unsuitable.
The new AER DMEV 150 complements the Vortice AER DMEV 100 range and offers the same functionality such as multiple trickle speeds, auto humidity boost, run-on timer and integral pull cord. Excitingly, its performance is significantly enhanced, with a full boost achieving 50 litres per second and a constant trickle speed of 25 l/s allowing noise levels to remain at a whisper.
Perfect for the social housing sector, it negates the risk of being too noisy for residents’ needs and helps them to ensure that their home remains condensation free.
As it uses the same energy efficient motor technology as the rest of the Vortice DMEV range, it is also cost-effective to run. Visit www.vorticemouldsolutions.co.uk to find out more about services for UK social housing providers and book a survey.
