What do Greenhouse Autovents do?

They open and close hinged vents automatically using energy from the warmth of the sun or the surrounding air. The hotter it gets, the wider it opens the vent.

"No longer do I have to decide whether to leave the ventilators open a little on warm summer nights or if it’s safe to open them on cold autumn mornings before I go to work. It’s all taken care of automatically and with perfect efficiency by a set of Bayliss Autovents."

Autovents Guaranteed for 2 years

All our products are guaranteed for two years against faulty manufacture. Provided the unit has not been tampered with (i.e. the piston pulled out of the tube), damaged by the window being tied shut, damaged by unusually strong high winds or fitted incorrectly, then we will repair it free of charge if it is returned to us.

Our Autovents are not ‘throw away’ items and are designed and tested to last many years. However, each and every part of a Bayliss Autovent can be serviced should the need arise, and we carry spares for all our current units as well as many earlier models.

How do greenhouse autovents work?

A strong metal tube contains a mineral wax which expands with heat. This pushes a piston which opens the vent via a balanced linkage. As the temperature drops, the wax shrinks and a strong stainless steel spring closes the vent and resets the piston. Learn more about the science behind Bayliss Autovents >

Why is the Bayliss Autovent better?

It has been designed by engineers who have been making automatic vent controls for greenhouses for over 40 years, and incorporates all the knowledge and experience gained during this time. All Bayliss Greenhouse Autovents have a strong stainless steel spring to give a firm closing force, and this virtually eliminates any risk from wind damage. The unit gives a balanced lifting action in the middle of the vent and this avoids any sideways thrust on the vent which can twist it or even push it out of position.

Custom designed greenhouse Autovents

The details given on this site show our standard range of automatic ventilation units. However, because we design, make the components and assemble them 'in house', we are able to offer special versions of the Bayliss Autovent. Variations can include alternative finishes and colours, different operating temperature ranges and even special designs for specific applications. Contact us to discuss your requirements >
