FAQs
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need a jigsaw or hole saw to create the opening, measuring tools, and potentially an adhesive or screw-fixings depending on your mounting surface.
Can this be used on the floor?
No, this product is designed for doors, cabinets, and wall-mounted applications. It is not rated for foot traffic.
Is this grille paintable?
While the grille comes in a finished white, it can be painted if you lightly scuff the surface and use a paint suitable for metal applications.
Does it include a mesh screen?
No, this model is an open ventilation grille without an integrated insect mesh.
Can I install this in a damp area like a bathroom?
Yes, its metal construction makes it suitable for most indoor environments, provided it is not directly exposed to excessive water spray.
Troubleshooting
The grille does not sit flush against the surface
Check that the mounting hole is not too small; ensure no debris is stuck behind the flange and that the surface thickness is at least 15mm.
Grille feels loose after installation
The corrugated flanges are designed to grip the sides of the hole. If the opening is slightly too large, use a small amount of clear silicone adhesive to secure the frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a pre-cut hole measuring exactly 460 x 45mm to ensure a snug fit. Before installation, measure your surface depth to confirm it exceeds the 15mm flange depth requirement. To install, apply a thin bead of construction adhesive to the flange or use secondary fixings if desired, then press firmly into the opening. Care is minimal: wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or lint build-up. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the white finish. Inspect the grille periodically to ensure that the vents remain free of dust or debris that could impede airflow.
