About Rytons
Rytons is a UK ventilation specialist producing products for domestic properties, including wall ventilation systems used in conjunction with solid-fuel appliances.
Correct ventilation is an important part of many stove and fireplace installations because combustion appliances require an adequate supply of air to operate safely and efficiently.
Air Vents for Wood Burning Stoves
Depending on the appliance, property and installation, a permanent air vent may be required to provide sufficient combustion air for a wood burning stove or other solid-fuel appliance.
Rytons offers purpose-designed wall vents that allow air to enter the room while using internal baffles and external cowls to help reduce some of the discomfort associated with a simple open wall vent.
Rytons Draught Free Air Vents
The Rytons PDV21 Draught Free Air Vent is designed to provide permanent ventilation while reducing the sensation of direct cold airflow into the room.
Its internal design helps diffuse incoming air rather than allowing it to pass straight through the wall in one concentrated stream.
This can make it a useful option where permanent ventilation is required for a stove but the homeowner wants to minimise noticeable draughts when the appliance is not in use.
Rytons LookRyt AirCore Vents
Rytons LookRyt AirCore vents combine a discreet internal grille with an external weather-protective cowl.
Baffled versions are designed to reduce unwanted draughts and light penetration while still maintaining the required free ventilation area.
Different ventilation capacities are available, so the correct model should be selected according to the appliance and installation requirements rather than appearance alone.
Why Stove Ventilation Matters
A wood burning or solid-fuel appliance needs an adequate supply of combustion air. Insufficient ventilation can contribute to poor combustion, difficult lighting, smoke spillage and unsafe operation.
The amount of permanent ventilation required depends on factors including the appliance output, air permeability of the property and the requirements of the relevant Building Regulations and appliance instructions.
For this reason, an air vent should be sized as part of the overall stove installation rather than selected solely on the basis of wall diameter or appearance.
Choosing the Correct Rytons Vent
When choosing a Rytons vent, consider the required equivalent ventilation area, wall construction, property type, stove output and the location where the vent will be installed.
The vent should be positioned so that it can supply the appliance with adequate air without being obstructed by furniture, coverings or later alterations.
If you are unsure which ventilation area is required, Bonfire can advise as part of a stove survey or installation specification.
