General Details

TALH&M – Rytons 9×6 Acoustic AirLiner^® Set with Hit & Miss Ventilator

Telescopic cavity liner set for background room ventilation.
Allows the introduction of fresh outside air into the room to disperse moisture, odours and other airborne pollutants.
Use in noisy areas to reduce the amount of noise entering the building for a more peaceful environment.
Telescopic cavity liner contains a system of internal baffles to reduce light and draughts.
Internal hit & miss grille manually adjusted with a sliding action allowing ventilation to be controlled as required.

Questions & Answers:

Will the vent reduce sound from inside to outside as well as from outside to inside? The BRE has advised us that it’s reasonable to assume that ‘reciprocity’ applies to the vents. That is, the third octave values for sound reduction index are the same in both directions (out to in and in to out).
