Keep Kitchens Pest Free with Schweigen Rangehoods Discover the rangehood innovations that help keep pests at bayWhen it comes to maintaining a clean and efficient kitchen, having a reliable rangehood is essential. However, what many homeowners overlook is the importance of ensuring that their rangehood is also pest-proof. Unwanted pests such as rodents and insects can find their way into homes through unprotected vents, leading to potential health hazards and damage. Pests like flies pose a serious food safety risk with their potential to transmit bacteria and other pathogens directly to food or food-prep surfaces, including debilitating diseases like cholera, typhoid fever, diphtheria, dysentery, E. coli and Salmonella. This is why Schweigen rangehoods incorporate innovative features to keep these nasties out. Schweigen SteelFlex™ : The Ultimate Rodent BarrierRodents are notorious for biting through anything and traditional ducting can often be an easy point of ingress into homes. Schweigen SteelFlex™ high-performance safety ducting is designed to deal with this issue head-on. It is constructed using ultra-strong and flexible Shirikon Firemesh® (a tri-layer tear-resistant UV-treated sleeve developed by Schweigen) and features integrated braided mesh and metal tape reinforcement to deter even the most desperate and vicious rodents. In addition to being pest, fire and crush proof, Schweigen SteelFlex™ is also thermally insulated and acoustically dampened with a treated surface that prevents the build-up of grease and bacteria. This ensures that the rangehood, duct system and kitchen remain free from rodent-related contamination and damage. Firemesh EmberGuard®: A Double DefenceAside from rodents, insects and other small pests can pose a threat by nesting in venting systems. Schweigen's rangehoods come equipped with the Firemesh EmberGuard® - a durable fine-mesh netting that not only prevents pests from entering and nesting in the venting system but also performs double duty as a BAL40-rated shield against flying embers during bushfire season. This mesh shield's dual functionality makes it an essential component in maintaining both the hygiene and safety of the kitchen, without impairing rangehood extraction and performance. Backdraft Shutters: Shutting Out VerminAnother critical feature of Schweigen's pest-proof rangehoods is the Backdraft Shutter. This simple but critical mechanism automatically closes off the vent when the rangehood is not in use. This prevents vermin from entering and nesting in the ducting system – a big problem, especially for homes in warmer climates. Just as importantly, it helps preserve the thermal envelope of the home when the ducted rangehood is not in operation.
