What the work involves

Flats without a loft use a wall-mounted unit that draws air from outside through a cored hole. PIV works well in houses and flats with general condensation on windows and cold walls.

Heated PIV

A heater module tempers the incoming air in cold weather. Useful in homes where people feel draughts.

Wall-mounted PIV for flats

Draws air from outside through an outside wall. Suits flats and homes with no loft space.
