Hello everyone,
Since I now have to decide which wall or roof penetrations we need to use for the fresh air intake and exhaust air, I am looking into the various options available on the market.
On the north side, we have the possibility to take in fresh air through the gable. The north gable faces the street, so the solution should also look decent.
The idea is to route the exhaust air through the roof, but the south gable can also be used for exhaust air. The south gable faces the garden.
We are building a house on a slope, which means that from the street side you see one full story and the pitched roof with the attic and loft. The heat recovery ventilation unit will be installed in the loft.
So far, I haven’t found a fresh air intake and exhaust air solution that really convinces me.
What have you installed, and what makes sense?
We have a planner for the heat recovery ventilation system, but I want to take a broader look at what is available.
Regards,
Micha

Thank you very much.
Looks good visually.
Can you tell me what other parts I need if I want to install these? You just need two of these, the color is up to you:
Vallox weather protection grille WSG AF 160-K-Z DN 160
Brick red HE-VALLWSGAF160KZ
White: VALLWSGAF160KW
Gray: HE-VALLWSGAF160KG
You don’t need anything else, as the ducts are included with the ventilation system. However, both the fresh air and exhaust air sides must have a diameter of 160mm (6.3 inches).
I previously used the grilles from Vitalio. However, they tend to look worn after a few years when installed on the weather-exposed side. That’s why I switched to Vallox.
