Draft Stoppa

DraftStoppa® Patent No. 2010200396 – Self-Sealing Casing for Ceiling Exhaust Fans

The Australian-designed and manufactured DraftStoppa® is a smart solution to reduce energy costs and improve indoor comfort. With its unique self-sealing mechanism, the DraftStoppa® helps homeowners save up to 30% on heating and cooling costs by minimizing unwanted airflow through ceiling exhaust fans.

What is the DraftStoppa®?

The DraftStoppa® is an innovative, self-sealing cover for ceiling exhaust fans. It uses a set of balanced shutters that automatically open when the fan is running and close when it’s off. This design prevents the loss of heated or cooled air, helping to maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduce energy consumption. By effectively sealing the fan opening when not in use, the DraftStoppa® helps block external air from entering your home through the roof cavity, offering a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution to energy loss.

Key Features

• Prevents Air Infiltration: Keeps unwanted hot or cold air from entering your home, maintaining a stable indoor climate and enhancing overall comfort.
• Reduces Odor Transfer: Minimizes the spread of polluted air or cooking odors, preventing them from dispersing into other rooms or shared spaces.
• Energy Efficient: Exceeds the Sustainable Energy Authority Victoria’s ‘First Rate’ energy rating requirements, providing superior energy efficiency for self-sealing exhaust fans.
• Affordable and Versatile: Compatible with most standard ceiling exhaust fans, including 3-in-1 models, at an economical price.
• Simple Installation: Easy to install, with a lightweight design that won’t strain the fan motor. The shutters open and close smoothly, enhancing the fan’s functionality without adding resistance.
• Eco-Friendly Materials: Made from fully recyclable, fire-retardant materials, supporting a sustainable approach to home ventilation.

Applications

The DraftStoppa® is ideal for homes and commercial spaces where controlling airflow through exhaust fans is essential for comfort and energy savings. It is particularly effective in regions with significant temperature variations, helping to reduce the load on heating and cooling systems. It’s suitable for various settings, from kitchens and bathrooms to laundry rooms or any space with a ceiling exhaust fan.

Please Note: The DraftStoppa® is not compatible with exhaust fans that are ducted directly to the roof. For these applications, consider the DraftStoppa TopHat model, specifically designed for ducted systems.
