Features and Benefits:
Rytons A1® Fire-rated Metal Soldier Air Bricks
General Details
- A range of custom-made metal soldier air bricks.
- Allow ventilation to pass through decorative soldier brickwork whilst maintaining the aesthetic appearance.
- Manufactured from A1 classified galvanised steel.
- Provide high air flows whilst maintaining low resistance.
- Supplied custom powder coated to Class A2-s1, d0. Choose from the RAL Classic colour chart in matt, semi-gloss or gloss finishes to match cladding or brickwork. Signature architectural finishes are also available.
- Built-in weather protection. Drainage holes in the air brick provide discreet water outlets, and louvred styles feature angled grilles to promote runoff, reducing the risk of water transfer into the duct.
- Sizes promote easy installation using standard mortar joints for a neat appearance in brickwork.

Disclaimers:
- The installation of metal air bricks alone will not satisfy the requirements of high-rise buildings which require all materials forming part of the external wall, or a specified attachment, to be made from non-combustible materials. For compliant ducting kits, see Rytons A1 Fire-rated Range.
- We do not recommend purchasing a metal air brick separately from the plenum/duct. As the components are hand made and have a size tolerance of +/- 5%, we can only guarantee compatibility between the air brick and the plenum/duct if they are manufactured and supplied as a kit.
