Vent to highway/pavement
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2020 9:56 pm
Hi,
I'm thinking about installing a Single room heat recovery vent in our basement. I've cured the damp issues with cork insulation and breathable plasters etc, but I need a new vent solution as my existing window vent (just extractor on a timer) will go when we replace the window this week.
So we will have to drill through the wall to fit a proper SRHR, but we've no garden and the outside of that wall is the pavement/highway. The vent I'm looking at has a spigot that will protrude 200mm out from the wall. This will be just below head head height (we dug our basement out a bit).
I'm guessing this will be an issue for the public? I can't raise it any higher as that'll be in our lounge above...
What are my options?
