How PIV Works

Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) is a whole-home ventilation solution that tackles condensation, black mould, and poor air quality at the source. Unlike traditional extractor fans that only work in individual rooms, PIV systems create gentle air movement throughout your entire property by continuously drawing in fresh, filtered air and naturally expelling stale, moisture-heavy air.

How Positive Input Ventilation Works

Here’s a simple breakdown of the positive input ventilation process:

Fresh Air Intake

The PIV unit draws in air from a clean source, usually your loft space.

Filtering & Tempering

The air is filtered to remove dust and pollutants.

Gentle Airflow

Fresh air is distributed through the ventilation system and into your home at low pressure.

Expelling Damp Air

Moisture-heavy, stale air is naturally pushed out. Which helps prevent condensation and mould.
