AIR BRICKS

[KEITHHOWELLS]

IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE I CAN USE RATHER THAN INSTALLING AIRBRICKS FOR INSTANCE USING A CORE CUTTER AND A PIPE TYPE VENT

 

[sime10]

What is the ventillation required for?

 

[libby lou lou]

Does it need to go through both walls, or just the one ?

 

[sime10]

Both walls ? Cavity? straight through to outside but a black hole vent will stop minimise draught.

 

[KEITHHOWELLS]

THE VENTING REQUIRED IS TO CIRCULATE AIR UNDER A WOODEN FLOOR IN A BUNGALOW TO INSTALL AN AIR BRICK WOULD INVOLVE LIFTING THE BOARDS.THE VENT WOULD HAVE TO PASS THROUGH BOTH WALLS. I WAS CONSIDERING USING A CORE CUTTER AND FEEDING THROUGH A STAINLESS STEEL PIPE WITH MESH COVER.IS THIS A GOOD IDEA ?

 

[masona]

Suspended timber floor in a house normally a honeycomb sleeper wall to allow cross air flow, are you saying you don't have brick air-vents on the external walls?

 

[KEITHHOWELLS]

I ONLY HAVE 2 BRICKS ON 2 SIDES OF THE BUNGALOW AT APPX 8 METRE SPACING I WAS CONSIDERING AN EXTRA TWO A SIDE PLUS SOME A THE REAR.OF THE AFFECTED ROOM
