FAQs
What grade of stainless steel is used?
This louvre vent is made from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance.
What are the exact dimensions of the grill?
The grill measures 232mm in length and 116mm in height.
Does it come with mounting screws?
No, mounting screws are not included. You will need to provide suitable fasteners for your specific mounting surface.
Can this grill be used outdoors?
Yes, its marine-grade 316 stainless steel construction makes it highly suitable for outdoor use, including in coastal or marine environments.
How do I clean the polished finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching.
How many mounting holes are there?
There are ten pre-drilled mounting holes to ensure a secure installation.
Is this vent suitable for kitchens?
Yes, it can be used in kitchens. Its durable and easy-to-clean surface is beneficial, though the aesthetic should complement the kitchen design.
Troubleshooting
Grill appears to be tarnishing or showing signs of corrosion.
While 316 stainless steel is highly resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions or certain chemicals can cause surface discoloration. Clean the grill thoroughly with a soft cloth and mild soap, rinse with fresh water, and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
Mounting holes do not align with the surface.
The grill has fixed hole positions. Re-measure and mark the desired mounting location carefully, ensuring the surface allows for the ten-hole pattern. Pilot holes may need to be adjusted. If the surface is pre-drilled, ensure it matches the grill's specifications.
Airflow seems restricted.
Ensure the louvres are not blocked by debris, insects, or obstructions. Check that the grill is installed the correct way around to allow for intended airflow. If the restriction persists, verify the installation is not causing an internal blockage within the ducting or wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the exact location for mounting. Ensure the area is clear and the chosen spot accommodates the grill's dimensions (232mm x 116mm).
- Mark the positions of the ten mounting holes onto the surface.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations, appropriate for your chosen fasteners (screws not included).
- Align the grill over the drilled holes.
- Secure the grill using suitable screws or bolts. Ensure they are tightened sufficiently for a firm fit.
Compatibility:
This louvre vent is designed to be surface-mounted. It is compatible with a wide range of materials including wood, metal, and composite surfaces. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound to support the grill. The opening size required will be slightly less than the outer dimensions of the grill, depending on how much overlap is desired for mounting.
Care:
To maintain the polished mirror finish and corrosion resistance:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the surface or damage the stainless steel's passive layer.
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after cleaning, especially if used in a marine environment, to remove any salt residue.
- Periodically inspect the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight.
