Polypipe's on-line Ventilation Specification Web planner, which provides customers with a quick and simple ventilation specification tool, has beenupgraded to make it even easier to specify and install domestic ventilation.

Now, in just three simple steps, the on-line planner provides a quick and simple solution to specifying the most appropriate appliance and optimum duct system for properties using centralised energy efficient ventilation systems.

With more stringent Building Regulations and the need to achieve higher levels of the Code for Sustainable Homes, there has been a move towards more efficient ventilation methods such as Mechanical Extract Ventilation (MEV), Mechanical Extract Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) and Exhaust Air Heat Pumps (EAHP).

However, these installations can be complex, often with long duct runs throughout the property.  In order for them to work effectively, using the correct appliance alongside high quality and correctly configured ducting is essential.

Polypipe Ventilation's on-line planner provides installers and specifiers with the ability to specify the most suitable appliance for a building and calculate the correct ducting to purchase from a distributor as a tailor made package - taking away the hassle of specifying domestic ventilation.  The new version has made the process even simpler by providing a complete system parts breakdown list and also the necessary airflow commissioning data with the approximate likely energy consumption of the system (a great sales tool for the installer!).

All installers have to do is download and print their shopping list and take it to the nearest Polypipe distribution partner to place their order.  There is a network of approved distribution partners across the UK, for maximum convenience.

To use Polypipe's revised on-line planner, installers and specifiers can go to www.polypipe.com/ventilation where they will also find detailed information on the full Polypipe Ventilation range, including energy efficient Domus branched and radial duct systems, Silavent extractor fans and the HR range of heat recovery units.  In addition, installers can sign up to Polypipe's new Installer Loyalty Programme and BPEC accredited domestic ventilation installer training course.
