FAQs
Can this be installed on 25mm sheets?
No, this unit is specifically designed for 16mm polycarbonate sheets and will not provide a secure fit for thicker materials.
Is the finish UV resistant?
Yes, the white finish is designed for exterior use and is resistant to degradation from prolonged UV exposure.
Do I need special tools to install this?
You will need a jigsaw with a fine-tooth blade for the polycarbonate sheets and a high-quality silicone sealant gun.
Can I paint the vent to match a different frame color?
It is not recommended to paint the unit as the finish is designed for durability; painting may cause the material to flake or overheat.
How do I maintain the vent long-term?
Regularly wipe the unit down with soapy water and inspect the external sealant lines once a year for signs of weathering.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage around the vent
Ensure the sealant was applied evenly and that all gaps are filled. Check if the polycarbonate sheet was cut too large for the vent frame.
Vent mechanism feels stiff
Clear any debris or grit from the pivot points and ensure the vent is not distorted during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the roof is clean and dry. You must accurately measure and cut the polycarbonate sheet to the dimensions of the vent frame. Use high-quality silicone sealant compatible with polycarbonate to ensure all edges are watertight, as leaks can lead to internal damage. Once installed, periodic inspection of the seals is recommended to ensure no shrinkage or gaps have formed due to seasonal temperature expansion and contraction. To clean, use a soft cloth and a mild soap solution; avoid harsh solvents that could cloud or degrade the polycarbonate material.
