I have a walk in larder which has no ventilation. I would like to ventilate it on the Northern wall, I think an air brick would be sufficient, what is the best type to go for, ideally I would like to be able to close it on the larder side if necessary.
Ventilating a larder

Standard air brick and a louvre for closing off on the inside. Might be worth putting one on the outside to prevent nasty draughts in the winter. If smell isn't likely to be a problem provide an air gap/grille in the larder door to allow free flow of air when the door is closed
Or even a standard xtractor fan pipe and grille through and on the outside
You still need a bit of venting..
I would more say insulate the larder and seal the door..so it stays really cool.
Our larder has one at the bottom and another at the top - both permanently open and causing no problem that way. They also have an (essential) fine insect screen on the inside...
