Fantech BACKDRAFT SHUTTERS 100MM PFL EXTERNAL GRILLE (GRAVITY LOUVRE) PGL100

Description

Reliable Backdraft Protection for Efficient Ventilation Performance

Maintain consistent airflow control across residential, commercial, and light industrial ventilation systems with the Fantech Backdraft Shutters 100mm PFL External Grille (Gravity Louvre) PGL100. Designed to support extractor fans and exhaust systems, this grille helps prevent unwanted backflow of air when the fan is not in operation, improving system efficiency and indoor air control.

When the fan activates, the shutters open smoothly to allow airflow. Once switched off, they automatically close using gravity, helping reduce energy loss, backdraft, and external air intrusion—keeping systems operating as intended without manual intervention.

Built for trade environments where reliability matters, this external grille supports faster installations and fewer call-backs, especially on jobs where consistent ventilation performance is critical.

Built for Harsh Outdoor Conditions and Long-Term Reliability

Designed with durability in mind, this external grille is manufactured from impact-resistant and UV-resistant PVC, making it suitable for exposed external installations across Australian conditions. From residential bathroom exhausts to commercial plant ventilation, it delivers dependable performance without premature degradation.

For licensed electricians and contractors, product reliability means fewer maintenance issues and reduced risk of failure after installation. The gravity-operated shutter system ensures passive operation with no wiring or controls required, helping streamline installs while maintaining compliance with standard ventilation practices.

Available in multiple sizes (100mm, 125mm, and 150mm), it supports a range of common ducting requirements across new builds, renovations, and maintenance upgrades.

Trade-Friendly Installation and Job Site Efficiency

Designed with electricians and contractors in mind, this backdraft shutter simplifies installation and reduces time on site. Its straightforward external grille design integrates easily with standard ducted exhaust systems, making it a practical choice for fast-paced project environments.

Whether working on residential bathroom upgrades, kitchen exhaust systems, or light commercial ventilation, this product helps maintain workflow efficiency while ensuring dependable airflow control.
