The choice is louvred, gravity or cowled.


I had a draught problem with my ducted kitchen extractor fan,
which faces west, and fitted a cowl BM424W:

It seems, subjectively, to reduce the effects when high winds are
blowing against it.

I fitted one over the backdraught shutter on an extractor. The outlet is in
the SW wall, so I did it mainly to keep out the weather.
There's still some clattering, but a kitchen extractor probably has heavier
louvres and is lower down.

Brown or white.
