Ventair Louvred Wall Cladding,
Dripstop Drain Condensation Control Fleece
Paramount Steel Doors
- Louvred both sides for maximum ventilation
- Extra wide airflow passage
- Increased airflow in comparison to Yorkshire Boarding
- Suitable for all types of metal cladding projects
The Steadman Ventair wall cladding sheet has been developed to meet the agricultural industry's need for really effective ventilation. With louvres on both sides of the sheet the airflow has been increased to generate an even greater movement of fresh air.
The combination of the Ventair wall cladding sheet with the absorbent qualities of drain dripstop condensation control fleece or AS6 Fibre Cement roofing sheet provides an effective guard against the build up of the corrosive cocktail of animal gases, waste and the condensation created by damp and humid conditions generated by over-wintering livestock.
Ventair is not limited to agricultural buildings, it can also be successfully specified for a variety of other applications where natural ventilation is required. |

Dripstop Drain is a condensation control fleece designed to reduce risk of damage from dripping or running condensate on single-skin metal roofs. Dripstop Drain is available on all Steadmans AS30 and AS13/3 panels.
The problem of condensation
Uninsulated roofs with single-skin metal sheeting are likely to suffer from condensation when the metal sheeting is cooled during the winter, or on cold clear nights. When warm air within the building cools on contact with the metal sheeting it can not support the same quantity of water vapour and may become saturated, with any excess water vapour condensing on the underside of the sheeting.
The condensate can drip from the roof, wetting the building’s fittings and/or contents, or may run down the roof and collect elsewhere within the building fabric where it can cause rust, rot or damage to fittings. |

The Dripstop Drain solution
Dripstop Drain is a self-adhesive polyester fleece designed to be applied to single-skin metal roof panels to prevent damage from condensation.
Dripstop Drain:
- slows the formation of condensate by insulating the sheeting;
- prevents condensate dripping from the underside of the roof;
- drains condensate safely down the slope of the roof to a gutter.
Dripstop Drain is inended for roofs of 7° pitch or greater: the drainage rate is greater on steeper pitches.
Technical description
Dripstop Drain consists of a woven polyester fleece with self-adhesive polyethylene film backing.
Biological
Dripstop Drain does not support the growth of bacteria and moulds.
