    Specify and order Ventmann frameless air diffusers through Faura at the Faura Interior Design Residency, Westminster, SW1.

    Ventmann is a maker of patented frameless gypsum air diffusers, sold in Britain by Ventmann UK Ltd from Tamworth, Staffordshire, and designed, patented and manufactured in the EU. Its linear slot, round, square and side diffusers are plastered into plasterboard walls and ceilings and painted with the surrounding surface, so air conditioning and MVHR vents almost disappear. Interior designers, architects and developers can specify Ventmann through Faura at the Faura Interior Design Residency in Westminster, SW1, and coordinate it with the ceilings, lighting and finishes of a project. Visits are by appointment.

    How frameless diffusers work

    Conventional vents have a plastic or metal grille and frame that sits proud of the plasterboard. Ventmann diffusers are made from gypsum, so they are plastered in with a light skim and painted with the wall or ceiling, leaving no visible frame. Because the material behaves like the surrounding surface, the painted joint stays invisible, and the diffuser can simply be repainted when the room is redecorated.

    Ventmann states that its gypsum composite is non-combustible, with an A1 fire classification, and that it resists condensation, which helps prevent the mould and dark marks common around metal and plastic vents.

    The ranges

    • LINE: the most versatile linear slot diffuser, which can run as a single detail or as continuous lines across a ceiling.
    • Performance Line: engineered for air-conditioning systems and using the Coanda effect, in which the airflow follows the ceiling or wall surface.
    • CIRCLE and Performance Circle: round frameless diffusers for supply and extract, with a click-system removable cap on PCIRCLE for maintenance.
    • SQUARE and SIDE: geometric ceiling diffusers, and Side Square and Side Round models for walls.
    • ART: frameless grilles made to custom shapes and sizes.

    Round, square and side diffusers come in spigot sizes of 100, 125, 160, 200 and 250 mm, to suit standard ductwork.

    Where they are used

    Ventmann diffusers work wherever plasterboard is used, including bathrooms, and with traditional HVAC, heat pumps and air conditioning, MVHR heat-recovery systems and humidification, for both supply and extract. Ventmann lists luxury residential projects, offices, hotels, retail, healthcare and education among its applications. They are not designed for stretch ceilings.

    MVHR diffusers · Air conditioning diffusers

    Quiet by design

    Ventmann publishes the airflow rates below which each diffuser is inaudible, using 17 dB as its threshold rather than the 25 dB it describes as the industry norm, to allow for other factors in the system.

    Frequently asked questions

    Where can I buy Ventmann diffusers in London?
    Interior designers, architects and developers can specify and order Ventmann through Faura at the Faura Interior Design Residency in Westminster, SW1, by appointment.
    Where are Ventmann diffusers made?
    Ventmann states that all its products are designed, patented and manufactured in the EU, using its own gypsum composite. In Britain they are supplied by Ventmann UK Ltd, based in Tamworth, Staffordshire.
    What is a frameless diffuser?
    A vent with no visible frame or grille. Ventmann diffusers are made from gypsum and plastered into the surrounding plasterboard with a light skim, then painted the same colour as the wall or ceiling, so the joint is invisible.
    Can Ventmann diffusers be used with air conditioning and MVHR?
    Yes. Ventmann diffusers work with air conditioning, heat pumps, MVHR heat-recovery systems and traditional HVAC, for supply and extract. The Performance Line and Performance Circle models are engineered for air-conditioning airflow.
    Can Ventmann diffusers be used in bathrooms?
    Yes, anywhere plasterboard is used. Ventmann notes that its products have a resin binder, which makes them more resilient to damp than regular gypsum plasterboard.
    Are Ventmann diffusers fire rated?
    Ventmann describes its gypsum composite as non-combustible, with an A1 fire classification.
    Can I get Ventmann CAD files and technical data?
    Ventmann's technical catalogue gives specifications, airflow, pressure-drop and sound data and installation guidance for each series, and its installation manuals cover each model. Faura can request any drawings the project needs from Ventmann.
    What sizes do Ventmann linear diffusers come in?
    Linear slot diffusers come in 625, 1000 and 1250 mm lengths, with one, two or three slots in 12 or 18 mm widths, and can be joined end to end into continuous lines.
    How much do Ventmann diffusers cost, and what are the lead times?
    Both depend on the models, sizes and quantities. Faura prepares trade quotations for each project and confirms timing for each order.
