FAQs

What size ducting does this grille fit?

This grille is designed to fit standard 150mm (6-inch) diameter ducting.

Does it come with screws for mounting?

Mounting screws and wall fixings are not typically included, as the required type depends on your wall material. Please use appropriate fixings for your specific installation.

Can I paint the grille?

While the grille is designed to blend in, painting is not recommended as it may affect the material properties or aesthetics. It is manufactured in a neutral Cotswold Sand colour.

How do I clean the anti-insect mesh?

You can gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or by carefully rinsing it with water if the grille is accessible. Ensure it is dry before reassembly or use.

What are the overall dimensions of the grille?

The grille dimensions are 200mm wide x 200mm high x 30mm deep.

Is this grille suitable for high-wind areas?

The grille is designed for external use, but its secure mounting and robust design contribute to its performance in various weather conditions. Ensure it is securely fixed to withstand strong winds.

Troubleshooting

Grille feels loose after installation

Ensure appropriate fixings for your wall type are used and tightened securely. Check that the duct is properly seated and not exerting undue pressure.

Insects are still entering the duct

Verify the anti-insect mesh is intact and free from damage. Ensure the grille is sealed correctly against the wall to prevent gaps.

Poor airflow despite clear ducting

Check the anti-insect mesh for any accumulated dust or debris that might be restricting airflow. Clean the mesh as per care instructions.

Water ingress around the grille

Ensure the grille is mounted flush against the wall and that any sealant applied is intact. Check for damage to the grille or wall opening.
