Stratflo® Ventridge
Stratflo® Ventridge provides continuous natural ventilation with effective weather protection under normal weather conditions. It takes maximum advantage of natural stack action, which is a result of temperature differences between the inside and outside of the building causing pressure variations that result in air movement. Heat from machinery, personnel, and also solar heat radiating through the roof and walls, warm the inside air which rises and flows out of the building through the ventridge.
