Full details
The Homesmart Circular Soffit Air Vents are designed for homeowners, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts looking to improve roof and eave ventilation while meeting standard building requirements. These 70mm vents provide an effective free airflow capacity of 2150mm² per unit, ensuring moisture and condensation are kept at bay to preserve the structural integrity of your roofline. While they are highly durable and easy to install, users should carefully measure their existing hole sizes before purchase to ensure a secure, flush-fit installation.

FAQs
What size hole do I need to drill?
You need to drill a 70mm diameter hole to ensure a proper push-fit.
Will these vents fade in the sun?
No, they are constructed from UV-resistant material specifically designed to withstand prolonged sunlight exposure.
Do I need screws to install them?
No, these are designed as a push-fit system, meaning they rely on a friction fit rather than mechanical fasteners.
Are these suitable for new builds?
Yes, they meet standard building regulations for free airflow capacity, making them suitable for new construction and renovation.
How deep is the vent?
The vent depth is 15mm, with an overall diameter of 80mm.
Can these be painted?
While the material is durable, we recommend testing any paint on an inconspicuous area first, as painting may affect the airflow capacity if the mesh becomes clogged.
Troubleshooting
Vent feels loose in the hole
Verify the hole diameter is exactly 70mm; if the hole was cut too large, use a small amount of exterior-grade silicone adhesive to secure the rim.
Airflow seems restricted
Check the integrated insect grill for blockage from debris, leaves, or thick cobwebs and clear using a soft brush or compressed air.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Compact 80mm overall size offers a clean, professional finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your soffit board is clear of obstructions on the inside. Drill a 70mm hole and ensure the edges are clean of debris before pushing the vent into place. These vents are compatible with most standard soffit materials including timber, plywood, and PVC. For ongoing care, occasionally inspect the vents from the ground to ensure the insect grill is not clogged with leaves or spider webs. If cleaning is required, a quick wipe with a damp cloth or a gentle spray with a hose is sufficient to clear any surface debris and maintain maximum airflow.
