WHAT IS THE INNOVENT BLOCK?
The Innovent block is a new patent protected concrete louvre ventilation block designed in Trinidad and Tobago. It allows for the air flow through a wall while inhibiting the passage of precipitation (such as a horizontal or wind driven rain) through its unique and innovative design features.

Commercial
A warehouse type structure is typically hot internally and can benefit tremendously from some form of natural cooling. The Innovent block can be used on all sides of the building including the face which traditionally has been a problem due to the penetration of a wind driven rain.
Residential
Allows the free flow of air while maintaining privacy. This is especially advantageous in high density housing where one can still enjoy the benefit of breeze while preventing your neighbor looking into your space.
We've been using the Innovent block just to protect the bottom of the house, keep it dry, keep it ventilated, since we have a wooden floor and I'm on top of a very windy area.
The idea to use these blocks have been phenomenal, they are very easy to put together and they offer a great look to the whole property so we don't have to see the basement.
