Air Valves for Ventilation | Supply & Extract Valves

The Different Types of Air Valves for Ventilation Systems
When it comes to designing an efficient and comfortable indoor environment, air valves play a vital role in controlling airflow. Whether you need to supply fresh air into your home or extract stale air out, choosing the right valve can make a huge difference to performance, noise levels, and overall comfort.
At BPC Ventilation, we supply a wide range of ventilation air valves to suit every type of property and project. From premium frameless diffusers for modern interiors to cost-effective PVC air valves and robust metal options, our selection covers both style and functionality.
In this guide, we’ll explore the different types of air valves available, their key benefits, and how to choose between supply valves and extract valves for your ventilation system.

Supply Valves vs. Extract Valves – What’s the Difference?
Understanding the difference between supply and extract valves is key to creating a balanced and efficient ventilation system:
- Supply Air Valves bring fresh, filtered air into the property, improving comfort and indoor air quality.
- Extract Air Valves remove stale, humid, or polluted air, helping to prevent condensation, mould, and odours.
In a well-designed MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) system, both types of valves are strategically placed to ensure a constant flow of clean, comfortable air.
