Install with confidence
How to install a louvre vent
Installing a louvre vent is straightforward when you prepare the panel correctly and follow the steps carefully. Take time to measure accurately and ensure the opening is clean before fitting.
01
Step 1: Measure and mark the panel
Measure the vent opening and mark your panel cut-out with care. Double-check to ensure the louvre vent will sit correctly without gaps or misalignment.
02
Step 2: Cut and prepare the opening
Cut the opening in the panel using appropriate tools. Remove sharp edges and clean the area to ensure a clean fit and prevent damage to the vent or panel.
03
Step 3: Position and secure the vent
Align the vent to the opening and check that it sits flush. Secure the vent with fasteners appropriate for the panel type and material, ensuring a snug fit.
04
Step 4: Check alignment and finish
Confirm the vent sits straight and tight against the panel. Check airflow direction, inspect fixings, and confirm the fit is secure for long-term durability.
