FAQs
Can I use this vent with 16mm polycarbonate?
No, this unit is specifically designed for 25mm polycarbonate sheets. Using it with thinner material will prevent a proper seal.
Is the white finish weather-resistant?
Yes, the finish is designed to withstand exterior conditions, including UV exposure, without yellowing or cracking.
Do I need special tools for installation?
You will need standard roofing tools, a sealant gun for the silicone, and appropriate fasteners as specified by your roof structure.
Can this be retrofitted into an existing roof?
While possible, it is much easier to install during the initial roof construction. Retrofitting requires cutting the polycarbonate sheet and may require structural modifications to the roof rafters.
How do I maintain the vent during winter?
Keep the vent clear of leaves or snow buildup. Ensure the mechanical parts move freely before the winter season begins.
Troubleshooting
Ventilation feels insufficient
Ensure that the internal airflow paths are not blocked by debris and consider installing a second vent to improve air circulation.
Water leakage around the unit
Check the sealant integrity around the perimeter. Re-apply a high-quality, weather-resistant silicone if gaps are detected.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Not suitable for glass or thin-profile polycarbonate sheets

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, verify that your roof rafters are spaced to accommodate the vent frame. The unit should be integrated directly into the polycarbonate sheet layout. Use a compatible silicone sealant designed for plastic glazing to ensure a weather-tight finish.
Care Instructions:
- Periodically clean the vent frame using a mild detergent and a soft cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Inspect the seals annually to ensure they remain flexible and secure.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the white finish or the polycarbonate material.
