AiroMatic – Smart, Powered Roof Ventilation
AiroMatic is set to a powerful fixed speed for continuous, high-performance ventilation. It also includes a built-in Air iQ smart box that can automatically detect heat and humidity to protect the home when it matters most.*
The AiroMatic comes with a pre-set speed setting to provide continuous ventilation day & night*. You can change it to automatic mode, this regulates the fan speed based on the humidity & heat. You can alternatively select from a low, medium & high speed to manually select the speed. You can find more information in the product manual.
During summer your roof space can reach temperatures of up to 70°C which could make its way into your living space. This heat also makes air conditioning less efficient as it has to work harder to push cool air into the living areas.
AiroMatic’s pre-set powerful fixed speed setting delivers continuous, powerful and effective ventilation day and night to cool the roof. AiroMatic also has a smart temperature sensing control system that automatically detects and removes heat from the roof space on those stifling hot summer days, so it saves energy and only works when it needs to.
AiroMatic in cooler months
During winter, humid air from cooking, cleaning & washing your clothes, rises into the roof space. Without ventilation, this humid air can turn to condensation which can cause mould, mildew or even structural damage to your home.
AiroMatic extracts humid air from the roof cavity which helps minimise condensation formation in order to prevent mould growth, or structural decay of timber.
What is the benefit of a smart vent?
The biggest benefit of installing a smart roof vent is that one smart vent has power equivalent to at least 4 natural vents. Smart vents also have the benefit of working on a continuous basis, without reliance on the wind.
How many AiroMatics do I need?
The number of ventilators you will need will depend on the size and pitch of your roof space. For detailed information, refer to our Product Technical Statement under the Downloads section.
*Operating mode preset to fixed speed for NCC2019 compliance. For more information on how to activate Air iQ and alternate settings, see the Product Manual at bradfordventilation.com.au

DIY Installation video for tiled roofs
Installation for tiled roofs
Remove one tile three rows down from ridge cap. Cut and fold back sarking if required.
Slide the flashing under the tiles above the opening and fold the bottom edge to seal
against lower tiles. Apply a bead of silicone under the side and front edges of the flashing
for a weatherproof installation.
From within the roof space, fit the fixing strap by hooking it between the flashing up stand and the outer housing.
Screw or nail the fixing strap to the bottom batten.Installation for metal roofs
Position vent appropriately and slip the top edge of the flashing under the ridge capping. Mark the position of the vent. Back flashing must be used if positioned lower down the roof.
Using the marks, cut a 250mm square opening.
Slip the top of the flashing under the ridge cap and dress the flashing into the metal sheet corrugations. Run a bead of silicone underneath the three exposed sides.
Secure the flashing to the metal sheeting with TEK screws or sealed rivets along the 3 exposed edges of the flashing.
