FAQs

Can I use this grille for an intake vent?

This grille is primarily designed for exhaust ventilation. Using it as an intake vent may result in restricted airflow.

Is the brown finish weather-resistant?

Yes, the grille is constructed from durable materials designed to withstand outdoor exposure.

What is the diameter of this grille?

This unit is designed to fit standard 100mm ducting.

Does it come with mounting screws?

Mounting hardware is typically not included as it depends on the specific wall material (brick, wood, etc.).

Can the louvers be painted to match my wall?

While the material is durable, we recommend checking with a paint specialist regarding suitable primers for exterior plastics.

Troubleshooting

Louvers are stuck open or closed

Check for debris accumulation near the hinge points or ensure the unit is mounted perfectly level.

Rattling noise during windy weather

This is common with gravity grilles in high wind; ensure the unit is securely fastened to the wall to minimize vibration.

Airflow seems restricted

Verify that the ducting behind the grille is not collapsed and that the fan capacity is appropriate for the vent size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Airvent 100mm Gravity Grille is straightforward. Ensure the duct hole is clear of obstruction and properly sized at 100mm. The unit should be secured to the external wall using appropriate fasteners for your specific surface material, such as masonry screws or wall anchors. For optimal performance, ensure the unit is mounted level to allow the gravity louvers to move freely without binding. To care for the unit, periodically check the louvers for dust or debris buildup that might restrict their movement. A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient to maintain its appearance and functionality.
