The Blauberg Plastic Gravity Shutter Grille is an essential component for homeowners and contractors looking to effectively terminate bathroom, kitchen, or HVAC ducting to an exterior wall. Its primary benefit is the gravity-operated shutter system that prevents backdraughts, pests, and exterior odours from entering the building when the fan is inactive; however, it requires a vertical installation to ensure the shutters close properly under their own weight.

No, this grille relies on gravity to close the shutters. It must be installed on a vertical wall.
No, this is a passive ventilation component and has no electrical parts.
Yes, it is compatible with standard 100mm flexible, semi-rigid, and rigid plastic ducting.
Yes, you can use a plastic-compatible spray paint if you need to match the grille to a different wall colour.
Mounting hardware is typically not included as the required fixings depend on your specific wall material (brick, wood, or render).
It is not recommended for tumble dryers as lint can build up and prevent the gravity shutters from closing properly.
Ensure the grille is mounted perfectly vertical; if the frame is tilted, the shutters may stick.
This is common with gravity flaps; ensure the unit is mounted flush against the wall and consider adding a thin foam gasket between the frame and the wall to dampen vibrations.
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the spigot or ensure the duct end is perfectly round and free of obstructions.
Installation is achieved via a simple push-fit mechanism. Ensure the 100mm round male spigot is inserted fully into your existing duct run. It is crucial to mount the unit on a vertical exterior wall surface; mounting it horizontally or on an incline will prevent the shutters from closing via gravity. For added security and weatherproofing, apply a bead of silicone sealant around the edges of the square frame where it meets the building wall. To clean, remove any accumulated dust or debris from the shutter flaps annually using a soft brush or a damp cloth to ensure the flaps can swing freely.
