The principle of operation of ventilation in the windowsill of plastic windows
Thanks to its constructive execution of such products allow for the natural ventilation in the windowsill of plastic windows. As a result, warm air rises from the battery, and returns the cooled back. Provided by convection to prevent condensation on the glass surface.
Advantages of convection grids for the windowsill
The main advantage of the convection in the lattice is sill possible to prevent condensation on the glasses and creation of favorable conditions for the circulation of the air flow. Heat given radiator, Does not accumulate under the sill and into the interior of the room. As a result, the room becomes much warmer. The advantages of such products should also include:
- installation versatility. Installation may be performed in any location on the window sill, countertop, radiator screen;

"For ventilation linings important value of the effective cross-section, is numerically equal to the total area of the holes. This parameter should be in the range 0,42-0,6. "
The price and size of the ventilation plastic grids are interconnected. The larger the size, the more will have to pay for a particular product.
Adjustable and static ventilation grids
The design of these products may differ. Manufacturers offer adjustable and non-adjustable models. Adjustable ventilation grille slats are moveable. Changing their position, it is possible to adjust the intensity of the supply air. In unregulated constructions slats remain stationary.
How to choose the bars on the window sill
When choosing a ventilation grille for batteries It should take into account length of the radiator and the windowsill. An ideal variant is equal to the length of the battery, and ventilation design. When choosing a product of insufficient length will be to protect one side of the window sill. On the second side at this time will form the condensate.
Attention! Instead of a decorative element can be used at some length.
If the window sill will be used for placing some items do not have to choose the model with large openings. They will not only collect the garbage, but also begin to fall in small things. If the window sill will not be used in this way, it is necessary to give preference to grate on the window sill for radiator heating with the most lively section. In this case, it is able to provide maximum air flow, thereby preventing occurrence of condensation.
Attention! Design, material and color of the product should be selected taking into account the design of the room in which the product is to be established.
Place mounting convection gratings for radiators
Installation of such structures may be configured in two ways: internal and external. To the outer metal facade Ventilation grilles less stringent requirements for aesthetic appeal than to products that are to be installed indoors. They are well withstand the negative effects of the environment, preventing the penetration of dirt into the house, dust and insects. Lockable ventilation grille additionally equipped with a special cover. With it possible to prevent the penetration of outside air into winter time.
Narrow ventilation grille is most often placed near a window or in the edge of the plate. Fitting Position is selected taking into account the location of the battery. If the radiator is in the depth of the plate - the installation is near a window, if the acts - the edge.
