Drimaster-Eco Positive Input Ventilation (PIV)
The market leading condensation dampness solution in social housing for 50+ years
The UK’s first ever Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system – and still the market leader after more than 50 years - Drimaster is highly effective at preventing and curing condensation dampness and its associated problems, including harmful black mould, within social housing.
Ideal for both planned and reactive servicing, Drimaster is installed in the loft, drawing air present in the loft space through filters and gently dispersing it into the home via a central diffuser at a continuous rate. The creates a positive pressure within the home that forces stale, damp air and pollutants out through the natural leakage gaps found in every property, old and new.
Drimaster: tried and tested
Drimaster PIV units are installed in over a million homes in the UK, and are particularly popular with social housing providers due to:
- cost-effective solution to damp and mould
- fast install (can be installed in a loft in less than an hour)
- longevity (20+ years)
- non-disruptive nature for residents
Now, more than ever, with Awaab’s Law in force, social housing providers are turning to Drimaster PIV technology to ensure homes are healthy and safe environments, free from damp and mould.
Supporting net-zero
Our PIV technology and product range has continually evolved since the first iteration in 1972. The introduction of Drimaster-Eco saw the unit using up to 20% less energy.
Now, Drimaster has evolved once more! Our latest Drimaster-Eco PIV unit has become a more sustainable unit as a result of swapping the casing from a virgin ABS plastic to 100% recycled plastic. The switch will result in a reduction of 167 tons of equivalent embodied carbon over the period of a year. Embodied carbon is the emissions associated with the production, transportation, installation, and disposal of a product. Did you now mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems are estimated to account for around 23% of a building’s embodied carbon? Nuaire is leading the ventilation industry in reducing embodied carbon, supporting social housing providers in their net-zero targets.
Nuaire PIV units provide choice
In addition to the standard Drimaster-Eco, the Drimaster-Eco NOX is available which comes with two carbon cartridges which reduces NOX levels – a dangerous pollutant commonly caused by road traffic - within the home by up to 80%. Drimaster models are available with a 400W heating element fitted on the diffuser to temper the airflow should the temperature in the loft space drop below a set point, ensuring ultimate comfort in the home. For homes without lofts, the Flatmaster PIV unit is available.
