Ventilation of beam and block floor void in a TF house

Hi guys,

 

How do you normally resolve the untidy telescopic floor void vents on a timber frame house construction, i.e. single 140mm wide foundation block? These telescopic vents are great, but only if you have got a cavity and outer skin to put vents through. Not on this one however, as it is 140mm stud + cladding on vertical and cross battens.

 

My neighbour is putting a "bollard vent" system, but I find it quite pricey and involving with the number of ducts needed.

 

Anyone done it smartly? 

 

I was thinking of extending the telescopes vertically to hide behind the cladding, but then tere would be the vertical part visible right above the ground. Unless, of course, I run cladding right down to the floor. But that's not great for cladding...

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

 

Bart

I’m just on with our foundations 

The annoying thing with telescopic vents is

 A couple quid each 

But the extensions are nearly a fiver
