AiroMatic – Smart, Powered Roof Ventilation

AiroMatic is set to a powerful fixed speed for continuous, high-performance ventilation. It also includes a built-in Air iQ smart box that can automatically detect heat and humidity to protect the home when it matters most.*

The AiroMatic comes with a pre-set speed setting to provide continuous ventilation day & night*. You can change it to automatic mode, this regulates the fan speed based on the humidity & heat.

AiroMatic in summer 

During summer your roof space can reach temperatures of up to 70°C which could make its way into your living space. This heat also makes air conditioning less efficient as it has to work harder to push cool air into the living areas. 

 

AiroMatic’s pre-set powerful fixed speed setting delivers continuous, powerful and effective ventilation day and night to cool the roof. AiroMatic also has a smart temperature sensing control system that automatically detects and removes heat from the roof space on those stifling hot summer days, so it saves energy and only works when it needs to.

 

AiroMatic in cooler months

During winter, humid air from cooking, cleaning & washing your clothes, rises into the roof space. Without ventilation, this humid air can turn to condensation which can cause mould, mildew or even structural damage to your home. 

 

AiroMatic extracts humid air from the roof cavity which helps minimise condensation formation in order to prevent mould growth, or structural decay of timber.

What is the benefit of a smart vent?

The biggest benefit of installing a smart roof vent is that one smart vent has power equivalent to at least 4 natural vents. Smart vents also have the benefit of working on a continuous basis, without reliance on the wind.

How many AiroMatics do I need?

The number of ventilators you will need will depend on the size and pitch of your roof space. For detailed information, refer to our Product Technical Statement under the Downloads section.

*Operating mode preset to fixed speed for NCC2019 compliance. For more information on how to activate Air iQ and alternate settings, see the Product Manual at bradfordventilation.com.au
