The best window ventilators
A window ventilator is a supply valve that is placed on the top of the window and lets fresh air into the room. They are inexpensive, silent, and do not take up much space. Experts analyzed the offers of manufacturers in this segment and identified 2 leaders.
Vents software 400
Window ventilator PO 400 provides natural ventilation in residential and commercial premises. This supply valve is suitable for installation in window frames of various sizes in cottages, standard apartments or office buildings. The design provides air flow, eliminates street noise and drafts, and also eliminates the need to open windows. The ventilator is convenient to use. The filter built into it purifies the incoming air, eliminating particles of dust, moisture or smog. And the mosquito net prevents insects from entering your home or office. The internal grille has 4 positions, allowing you to change the volume and direction of the incoming flow. The maximum possible air flow is 20-40 m3 per hour.
Advantages
- Easy installation;
- Low price (from 700 rubles);
- External visor for protection against water;
- High quality casting.
Flaws
- The screws included are too long.
To install the model on standard windows, buyers are advised to buy other shorter screws. The complete ones stick out from the frame.
Ventec VT 501
A good ventilator for an apartment. It does not create drafts and is safe for small children on the floor. The kit includes a supply valve, a water canopy, and plugs. The model is available in 2 sizes: 40 cm with a throughput of up to 35 m3 per hour or 27 cm with a throughput of up to 25 m3 per hour. Adjustable flaps allow you to always fine-tune the intensity and direction of air flow into the room.

What types of ventilators are there for plastic windows?
Ventilation mechanisms differ in type of design, adjustment method, installation and other criteria. They are made of metal, wood or plastic. There is no clear division into types.
Window ventilators come in:
Mechanism type | Design features |
Folded | Air suction through a slot in the frame. Lowest throughput (5 m3/h), but affordable price, high level of sound insulation. It is recommended to install 2 devices per window |
Slotted | Enjoys consumer demand: a wide selection of models. High throughput (from 20 m3/h), dust and noise insulation, compactness. Installed in the insulation slot between the sash and the frame. Double block frames require milling. |
Auto | Supplemented with a room humidity level sensor that regulates the opening and closing of the ventilation hole |
Manual | Air flow is manually adjustable |
Built-in | The mechanism is equipped with an opening valve. It has increased productivity (up to 100 m3/h) relative to the seam type. Mounted in the upper part of the glass unit along the entire width. Installation is carried out at work or at home with replacement of the double-glazed window. |
Overhead | The principle of operation is similar to slot-hole ones. The largest throughput, but there is no sound insulation. The window needs to be removed. Most often used in technical rooms |
Handle with supply valve | Installed in place of a regular handle. Equipped with filter elements |
Acoustic | Built-in membrane isolates external sound, maintaining a range of 30 – 40 dB |
There are also devices equipped with valves against rain and wind.
Regardless of the type of window supply valve, it is recommended to install them only in rooms. So, for example, in places of severe air pollution (kitchen, toilet), odors will spread throughout the apartment and the general air exchange will be disrupted.
The best wall ventilators
A wall ventilator is a supply valve that is mounted on the wall and, through an opening with a diameter of up to 10 cm, supplies fresh air from the street and cleans it. Typically, such devices are installed near a window. Based on the results of the analysis of more than 10 wall models, the 2 best were selected.

Its design guarantees the absence of drafts. The set includes 2 ventilation grilles and an air duct designed for a wall up to 50 cm deep. Everything is made of high-quality shockproof and UV-resistant plastic. The valve allows you to smoothly regulate the intensity of the incoming air or, if necessary, completely close the channel. The model's productivity is 35 m3 per hour.
Advantages
- Anti-mosquito net on the external grille;

The best split systems
How does a window ventilator work?
The operating principle of the device is also simple. Clean air is drawn in through a telescopic channel (due to the difference in pressure outside and in the room) and exits into the room through nozzles. The greater the temperature difference, the more intense the air exchange occurs.
Further, under the influence of convection, the flow moves upward, heats up and displaces the exhaust air to the ventilation openings. In order for the ventilator to work properly in a closed room, a gap is created under the door or in the door itself. Without effective exhaust draft, the valve's action is reduced.
The best ventilation units
Organizing a complete ventilation system is a complex engineering task, for which many manufacturers offer ready-made solutions. They are selected based on the type and size of the room, as well as the tasks assigned to the equipment. As a result of studying many ventilation units, the 2 best representatives of this market segment were identified.
Siegenia Aeropac Sn
A popular installation for creating a pleasant microclimate in the home or workplace. The unit operates silently, the sound appears only at speed 3, when you need to intensively ventilate the room in 5-10 minutes. In total, the program includes 5 operating modes. Built-in filters collect unpleasant odors, dust, insects, so an absolutely fresh stream enters the room. Once clogged, they can be easily changed in a couple of minutes. The indicator will tell you when it's time to do this. All controls are intuitive, and each command is duplicated on the LCD display.

Why install a ventilator for plastic windows?
PVC windows are sealed structures that prevent natural air exchange. Without a flow of fresh air, the microclimate of the room is disrupted, and this negatively affects the activity and health of the inhabitants. Dangerous pollution, odors, allergens, and noise enter through open windows. Rain, strong wind or frost make proper ventilation difficult.
To feel comfortable with the windows closed, install a window ventilator. It provides natural ventilation and climate control:
- normalizes indoor humidity;
- uniform air flow does not create a draft.
The risk of condensation on glass and the occurrence of mold is reduced. As well as a window ventilator for plastic windows:
- compact;
- silent;
- economical.
Installation of the device does not require large material, energy, or physical costs.
