VCQ Roof Cowls
Designed to provide a weatherproof opening in ducted systems to the outside of buildings, VCQ is a simple and robust solution. Combined with in-line fans or ceiling-mounted fans, roof cowls sit on a roof and allow air to be drawn in or exhausted from a building. Roof cowls allow ventilation while not allowing rain or debris to enter the ventilation system, which reduces the risk of water damage, mould growth, and other structural problems.
VCQ roof cowls come in a range of sizes and capacities to suit almost any specification in either supply or exhaust air configuration. With several capacities across a range of sizes on offer, VCQ has your ducted systems covered, whatever the specification may be.
Construction
The range is manufactured to withstand Australia’s harsh environment using a combination of UV-stabilised polymer, corrosion-protected steel and fibreglass. Each model is birdproof with moulded-in barriers or high-strength anti-bird mesh. VCQ roof cowls can be further customised and specified for coastal locations, marine applications, and food environments like abattoirs.
Additionally, these roof cowls are available in a bushfire-compliant version BVCQ.

Installation
Cleaning
VCQ series roof cowls require no maintenance. Should cleaning be desired, this should be carried out using a mild detergent. Abrasives or solvents should not be used. Slight fading may occur due to the effect of ultraviolet rays during service; this will not affect the performance of the roof cowl. Under normal conditions, a life expectancy of 10-15+ years is possible.
