As periods of extreme heat become more frequent, architects, specifiers and building owners are increasingly looking for products that can protect buildings from high temperatures, whilst maintaining fire safety, durability and comfort.
Good Ventilation Can Come at a Price
With temperatures this summer often reaching in excess of 35°C, the UK Government has highlighted the importance of ventilation during periods of extreme heat. However, opening windows and doors can allow all manner of insects into buildings – such as flies, wasps and mosquitoes; plus non-native venomous spiders such as the False Widow.

However, opening windows and doors can allow all manner of insects into buildings – such as flies, wasps and mosquitoes; plus non-native venomous spiders such as the False Widow.
Indeed, the UK Health Security Agency has warned of the risk that insect and spider bites pose, particularly in relation to occupants of hospitals and care homes, as well as vulnerable groups such as the elderly and infants.
Innovation to Combat Climate Change
Envirograf® has considerable expertise in producing fireproof ventilation grilles, so naturally saw an opportunity to integrate a new insect defence screen into their latest patent pending TaktaVent range of grilles produced with combatting the effects of climate change in mind.
Innovation to Combat Climate Change
Envirograf® has considerable expertise in producing fireproof ventilation grilles, so naturally saw an opportunity to integrate a new insect defence screen into their latest patent pending TaktaVent range of grilles produced with combatting the effects of climate change in mind.
The new TaktaVent grilles are available in a variety of configurations and are designed to fit traditional, modern, transom and casement windows. They make excellent direct replacements for smaller top opening windows, but can be installed into many existing windows by cutting and resizing the glass as necessary. The grilles are suitable for uPVC, metal and timber windows.
They provide adjustable ventilation ranging from fully open to completely closed, plus have an internal intumescent material which will expand when exposed to flame providing up to 65 minutes fire integrity, causing the grille to seal without the need for any human intervention, preventing the spread of fire and dangerous fumes. Insect mesh is also integral to the grille – keeping unwanted, potentially disease spreading, bugs out.
The Energy Efficient Solution
Unlike fans or environmentally unfriendly air-conditioning units, TaktaVents require no electricity, resulting in reduced energy output at a time of ever-increasing energy prices. Externally, the grilles feature ventilation slots to allow air to flow through, with subtly installed insect-mesh and intumescent material inside.

Internally, a small control handle allows air flow to be adjusted as required. The TaktaVent grilles for metal and wooden windows externally feature a large open square pattern, whilst the grilles for plastic windows feature a smaller flower pattern aesthetic.
Four Decades of Expertise and Product Development
Envirograf boasts over 40 years of experience in passive fire technologies, a specialist niche sector within the wider fire safety industry that is often more focused on reactive fire-retardant measures, such as fire extinguishers and fire alarms.
