Why turbine ventilation?

Mounted to the roof, turbine ventilators extract hot, stale and polluted indoor air. This allows cool, fresh air to enter the

building from outside. Turbine ventilators keep indoor environments cooler and healthier; they use no electricity and turn

using the wind and natural convection. Turbovent’s range of turbine ventilators are made from the best quality materials

to the highest international standards.

General features

Turbovent has successfully supplied hundreds of thousands of turbine ventilators since 1990 to almost every type of build-

ing, both with and without ceilings, to homes, schools, churches, shops, warehouses and factories.

• Turbine ventilators are able to withstand wind speeds of up to 220km/h, yet will turn even in the complete absence

of wind

• can be fitted to almost any roof up to a 45° pitch

• require no maintenance

• are completely silent

• are waterproof

• keep dust and pollutants from coming into the building

• are SABS approved

• can be used in confined spaces such as containers and vehicles

• can be used to enhance the effectiveness of chimney flues.

Benefi ts

• Cooling and ventilation: the primary benefi t of turbine ventilators is that they effi ciently remove hot, stale and polluted air

from buildings in which attic-air can be heated up to 65°, this allows the air to be replaced with cool fresh air from outdoors.

• Cost effective: turbine ventilators require no maintenance and no electricity to run.

• In winter, ventilation removes moisture-laden air; too much moisture is known to deteriorate structures and cause mould to

grow in attic spaces.

• Reducing a building’s heat load will assist in reducing air-conditioning bills in summer.

• The steady fl ow of air through ventilation clears out airborne contaminants and replenishes oxygen levels in the air, creating a fresh

and clean environment.

Turbovent has the largest range

of natural turbine ventilators in

Southern Africa - ideal for home

and industry use.
