No, the product includes the metal ventilation grille only. You will need to source your own adhesive or screws.
This grille is designed for walls, cabinet doors, and plinths; it is not intended for high-traffic floor areas where it may be stepped on.
The product features a Silver Matt finish, providing a neutral and modern look suitable for most interiors.
While the metal is durable, it comes with a finished surface. If you choose to paint it, ensure you use a metal-bonding primer first.
Use a vacuum with a brush attachment for dust or a damp cloth for stubborn debris, ensuring the area is dried thoroughly afterward.
The rear flange depth is 15mm, meaning you need a minimum of 15mm clearance behind your mounting surface.
Check if the cut-out is exactly 460 x 45mm. If the hole is too small, carefully sand or file the edges until the flange fits.
Apply a small amount of silicone sealant or mounting adhesive around the inner edge of the flange to dampen vibrations.
Place the grille face down on a piece of paper, trace the outer perimeter, and then measure inward to identify the exact 460 x 45mm cut-line.
To install, first verify the dimensions: the mounting opening must be exactly 460 x 45mm. Ensure a minimum depth of 15mm is available behind the panel to accommodate the corrugated flange. Because no fixings are included, you may choose to secure the grille using construction adhesive or mechanical fasteners depending on your material surface (wood vs. metal).
Care instructions involve periodic cleaning with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the grille is placed in a humid environment like a bathroom, wipe it down occasionally to prevent potential finish degradation. Always double-check your appliance manual for required ventilation surface area before finalizing your installation.
