The Back-Draught Shutter (BDS) is a mechanical device installed in ductwork to prevent reverse airflow when a fan or ventilation system is not operating. It automatically closes when air pressure drops, stopping unwanted drafts, heat loss, or ingress of dust and contaminants. Back-draught shutters are commonly used in HVAC supply, extract, and exhaust systems for commercial, industrial, and residential applications.
Material:
Casing: Galvanised steel or stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance
Blades: Aluminium or steel, lightweight for smooth operation
Hinges/Shafts: Stainless steel or zinc-plated steel for long-lasting movement
Seals (optional): Rubber or silicone to minimise leakage
Specifications:
Type: Gravity-operated or spring-assisted back-draught shutter
Sizes: Available in circular and rectangular ducts, custom sizes as required
Pressure Rating: Suitable for low to medium pressure duct systems
Mounting: Inline duct installation, wall, or roof openings
Blade Operation: Opens under positive airflow and closes automatically under reverse flow
Finish: Galvanised steel standard; powder coating or stainless steel optional
Applications: Supply, extract, and exhaust air systems in HVAC installations
Optional Features: Motorised actuation, locking mechanism, and weatherproof option
Estimated Delivery: 2–5 Working Days
Shipping costs will be calculated during checkout.
