Product Overview

VES-Artex Ventilation Chimneys provide a strategic exhaust or air intake solution for tunnel-ventilated, cross-ventilated, and naturally ventilated barns. Designed to enhance barn airflow and improve indoor air quality, these chimneys help remove stale air, reduce moisture buildup, and support consistent temperature control throughout the facility.

Constructed with high-density insulated fiberglass panels, VES-Artex chimneys are rust-resistant, corrosion-free, and easy to clean—making them ideal for demanding dairy, livestock, and agricultural environments. The extended roof design prevents rain, snow, and wind-driven moisture from entering the barn while maintaining efficient airflow performance across changing weather conditions.

Passive & Powered Configurations

Chimneys are available in both passive and powered models:

• Passive Chimneys utilize natural buoyancy and pressure differentials to exhaust warm, humid air from the barn.
• Powered Chimneys incorporate a 36” fan at the base to actively move air, providing controlled ventilation and improved air exchange rates when environmental conditions require additional airflow.

When properly positioned by building designers, ventilation chimneys help destratify air, maintain consistent oxygen levels, reduce ammonia concentrations, and support a healthier microclimate at cow level.
