Technical Information is available for ventilation system designers, specifiers and installers to assist you in choosing the optimum GONAL system, assuring the lowest resistance with the best performance.
To ensure the correct ventilation/ extraction current building regulations demand that you take into account different factors. Those are extractor ventilation fan, the extraction and flow ratio (l/s o m3/h), ducting circuit configuration, its length, pressure loss(Pa),etc.

All new domestic buildings and extensions must comply with F1 building regulations and provide ventilation in
kitchens, utility rooms, bathrooms and WCs.
It is essential to make the flow calculation of the area to be ventilated, to make the correct choice of GONAL ducting system.
This calculation is made by multiplying the volume by the ACH (air changes per hour) Please, see attached chart with some examples according to the current regulations.
To assure a clean air environment, always use the appropriate fan for your ventilation requirements.
By using a superior GONAL system you will be prepared for any unforeseen demand.
