This automatic greenhouse vent opener, also known as an autovent, keeps your greenhouse at the right temperature. It opens and closes the window using solar heat, so no electricity is required. The opener lets heat escape on warm days and helps retain warmth when temperatures drop. Supplied with a two-year warranty, it’s easy to install with the instructions provided.

Automatic Greenhouse Vent Opener With Temperature Control

The temperature-controlled greenhouse opener can be adjusted to begin opening between 17°C and 25°C. Around 30°C it will fully open to a maximum of 45 cm, depending on adjustment and load. These self-opening greenhouse vents keep air circulating without you checking the greenhouse all day.

Solar Powered Greenhouse Window Opener For Easy Ventilation

This solar powered greenhouse window opener uses the sun’s heat to function—no wiring or batteries needed. It’s made from aluminium zinc-coated steel and has an opening force of 7 kg for reliable daily use. We also offer an Automatic Greenhouse Door Opener for doors and larger vents.

Wax Filled Piston In The Greenhouse Ventilation System Opener

Inside the automatic greenhouse opener is a wax-filled piston cylinder with a wax and oil mix. As the greenhouse warms, the wax expands and pushes the piston rod outward to open the window. When temperatures fall, the wax contracts and the piston retracts; springs or window weight then close it, creating a self-regulating ventilation cycle.
