Grills & Vents

Learn more about grills & vents

Grills & vents finish and protect ventilation openings, controlling or directing airflow through a building. Get the fit right and you keep air moving where it should, while the opening stays neat and protected.

The right choice comes down to a few practical points, the size of the cut-out, whether the fitting is internal or external, the material and finish for the location, and how the part connects to any existing ducting or outlet. 

Typical uses

• Sub-floor airflow: Installing telescoping air bricks to ventilate timber floor voids and prevent dry rot in floor joists.

• Extractor fan outlets: Fitting gravity flap or louvred wall covers to terminate kitchen and bathroom extractor ducting externally.

• Controllable room ventilation: Mounting adjustable hit-and-miss grilles over internal wall apertures to allow manual airflow control.

• Pass-through ventilation: Installing fixed louvre vents in doors and cupboard partitions to ensure continuous air circulation around boiler housing.

How to choose the right grill or vent

• Check the size of the opening and match the product to the existing cut-out, fixing points and overall dimensions.

• Confirm whether you need an internal or external fitting.

• Decide whether the application calls for a louvre vent, louvre vent cover, roof vent, roof vent cover or ventilation outlet grille.

• Choose the finish and material to suit the location and expected exposure, especially where durability and corrosion resistance matter.

• Make sure the product suits the intended use, whether that's a bathroom extractor vent cover, kitchen extractor fan grille or another ventilation outlet.

Before you order

• Measure the opening carefully and compare it with the listed product specifications.

• Check whether the part is a direct replacement or whether you'll need to adjust the opening or fixings.

• Review the intended location, airflow route and compatibility with the existing ducting or vent outlet.

• If you're replacing a part, check the current vent style and fixing method so you can match it more easily and reduce wastage.
