What is the difference between louvre and turbine vents?

Louvered (side) vents.  If you’re looking to combat excessive moisture inside your 10 foot Storage Container20 foot Storage Container40 foot container or 40′ high cube container, we offer Louvered vents, which will provide even more air flow into the unit. If you decide to go this route, we recommend two to four Louvered vents placed on opposite ends and side of the container to provide a cross breeze and additional circulation. Louvre Vents can help improve air quality within containers by allowing the circulation of fresh air and the removal of stagnant air and odors. Our Louvered Vents are heavy-duty construction and used for flush mounting.

Turbine vents. Finally, we offer turbine (whirlybird) vents, which will be cut into the roof of your 10’/20’/40′ container. Turbine vents use wind energy to create airflow and exhaust stale air, heat and moisture from the container’s interior. The only downside to these turbine vents is that during snow-melt, the turbine vent can freeze shut, but clearing the snow off the roof will help lessen this impact.  Turbine vents are the most effective options for circulating air inside of the container. Our turbine vents are made of all aluminum construction, with 21 air foils with rolled edges to deflect water, permanently lubricated with upper and lower ball bearings to ensure long life and low maintenance. They are heavy-duty and durable, tested to withstand 147 mile-per-hour wind. Turbine vents are only available for leases of more than a year or container sales.
