Labyrinth is a compact, roof or wall mounted, natural louvred inlet and extract ventilator designed especially for industries which produce large quantities of heat and noise such as steel works, rolling mills, foundries and power stations. It has aerodynamically designed louvres to provide continuous weatherproof ventilation. Rainwater is collected within the ventilator and drained away via side channels.
