Plastic Air Brick Terracotta 76mm x 229mm (9" x 3")

What is Plastic Air Brick Terracotta - 76mm x 229mm (9" x 3")?

This 76mm x 229mm Terracotta Plastic Air Brick is manufactured from durable plastic and finished in a terracotta colour to complement traditional brickwork or other terracotta building elements. 

Its primary function is to create an opening in a wall that permits the free passage of air, crucial for preventing moisture build-up and maintaining healthy air quality within building voids or specific internal spaces.

The brick's dimensions are designed to correspond with standard UK brick sizes, allowing for straightforward integration into new or existing masonry constructions. 

Applications

• Sub-Floor Void Ventilation: Provides cross-ventilation to suspended timber floors, helping to prevent damp conditions that can lead to fungal decay and insect infestation in floor joists and boards.
• Cavity Wall Ventilation: Can be used to ventilate wall cavities, helping to dissipate any trapped moisture.
• Through-Wall General Ventilation: Provides airflow to internal spaces such as larders, utility rooms, garages (where appropriate and not for gas appliance flues), or other areas requiring passive ventilation.
• Compatibility with Ducting Systems: Often used in conjunction with telescopic underfloor ventilators, cavity liners, or duct adaptors to extend ventilation pathways to specific areas or connect to internal grilles.

Benefits

• Ventilation: Facilitates natural airflow, which is vital for reducing condensation, preventing damp, mitigating the risk of rot in timber elements (such as sub-floor joists), and ventilating enclosed spaces.
• Durable Plastic Construction: Manufactured from robust plastic, offering resistance to corrosion, rot, and general weathering.
• Aesthetic Finish: Terracotta colour allows the air brick to blend aesthetically with traditional red brick facades or other terracotta architectural details.
• Standard Brick Sizing: With external dimensions of 76mm x 229mm, it is typically sized to replace a single standard brick in a course of brickwork.
• Pest & Debris Mitigation: Features an integral grille designed to permit airflow while restricting the entry of larger insects, vermin, and wind-blown debris.
• Lightweight & Easy to Install: Lightweight plastic construction makes the air bricks easy to handle and install by mortaring into place like a conventional brick.
