Specifiers and tradespeople can now see exactly how an extractor fan will look in a kitchen or bathroom, thanks to an innovative new app released by EnviroVent.
A UK first for the ventilation industry, AugVent (www.augvent.com) makes use of Augmented Reality to enable users to clearly visualise what an extract fan or other ventilation system will look like in a building. The App is now available to download in the Apple App Store and on Google Play.
The app, which is available for Android and iPhone, brings the image to life in 3D with a 3600 product view so that users can see the unit from a wide range of angles. This means that users know exactly what each product will look like before they decide to make a purchase.
The full suite of products on the app includes positive input ventilation, heat recovery systems, kitchen and bathroom extractor fans, all of which can help to control condensation and alleviate allergy triggers.
Users can select from a number of different colours and models and also save an image of how the unit would look, once they have chosen their desired model, for reference afterwards.
Rebecca McLean, Marketing and Product Director for EnviroVent, said: “This new AugVent app is set to revolutionise the whole process of buying an extract fan as specifiers and customers will be able to visualise how it will look in a property. We are really excited to be the first UK ventilation manufacturer to be able to bring this latest technology to the market. It’s a real breakthrough as it helps customers to make the right decision when choosing a new extractor fan or ventilation system.”
Extremely easy to use, AugVent features a visualisation marker which is placed on the wall. All the user needs to do is to choose the ventilation units which they would like to see in Augmented Reality then scan the marker and the extract fan will appear on the image of the wall.
Specifiers and contractors can also browse different EnviroVent products, styles and colours of the untis. Once they have found the product combination they like best, they have the ability to easily share their choices on social media or request a quotation directly from EnviroVent.
