Product Information
Full details
The Prostko LTD Air Vent Grille is an essential utility component for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable, low-profile ventilation cover for walls, ceilings, or doors. Its primary benefit is the integrated adjustable shutter, which offers precise control over airflow, ensuring indoor environments remain well-ventilated without compromising aesthetic appeal. The primary caveat to note is that the unit requires manual screw installation, meaning it is not suitable for surfaces where drilling is prohibited or impractical.

FAQs
Can this grille be used on the floor?
This unit is designed for wall, ceiling, or door mounting and is not intended to support weight or foot traffic.
Is the black finish paintable?
While it can be painted, the factory-applied finish is durable; ensure you use a metal-appropriate primer if you choose to change the color.
Does it come with screws?
Standard installation hardware is generally recommended based on your specific mounting surface (e.g., drywall vs. wood), so you may need to source the appropriate screws separately.
Can I install this in a bathroom?
Yes, it can be used in a bathroom, but ensure it is not located directly where it will receive continuous water spray.
What is the exact depth of the grille?
The unit features a slim, flat profile designed to sit flush against the mounting surface, typically extending only a few millimeters outward.
Troubleshooting
Shutter mechanism feels stiff
Ensure the grille is not overtightened against the wall, which can warp the frame and bind the sliding mechanism.
Visible gaps between wall and frame
Check that the mounting surface is perfectly level. If the wall is uneven, consider using a thin layer of decorators caulk around the perimeter for a flush seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and requires basic tools. Ensure your existing wall or ceiling cutout aligns with the 300mm x 100mm profile. 1. Align the grille over the ventilation hole. 2. Mark the screw locations through the pre-drilled holes in the frame. 3. Drill pilot holes if mounting into wood or use appropriate wall anchors for drywall. 4. Secure the unit using standard screws until flush. For maintenance, keep the shutter mechanism free of dust by wiping it down with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the black finish over time.
