Tim Daly formed Custom Rangehoods in 2004 to meet the need for a quality rangehood installation service in the midst of the West Australian resources boom. The business grew quickly and employed a fulltime office manager and 6 rangehood installers by 2009.

Custom Rangehoods now has two admin staff and 8 installers and has matured into a well-respected and reliable company, supplying its service to 70% of the project builders here in Perth. With the strength in our experience of installing rangehoods and our length of service, it has been an exciting time for us as we have been designing and manufacturing the Dragon Vent system to introduce to the Perth market.

 In September 2016, the final prototype was independently wind tunnel tested in cyclonic conditions, and found to be watertight. Now knowing we had a product that not only overcome air, water and pest intrusion, compliant bush fire regulation, B.A.L 12.5 – BAL 40 (bushfire attack level) , doing all this with a much more aesthetic appeal on the roof than the standard mushroom type roof vent. We branded this new roof vent, Dragon DV 280 .

A year later after many Dragon DV 280 installs, our range  Dragon Venting systems was sent to Schneider Clipsal for testing  with their CEF40WE exhaust fan. With very good results the Dragon Roof, Wall and Eaves vent  got the tick of approval to use with two CEF40WE exhaust fans.
