These vents are designed to provide crucial airflow to the roof and eaves, preventing moisture buildup, condensation, and potential damage to the building's structure.
You need to drill a hole that is exactly 70mm in diameter for a secure push-fit installation.
They are suitable for any roof where soffit and eave ventilation is required and can be fitted into standard soffit boards.
Each pack contains 25 white plastic soffit air vents.
No, the vents are manufactured from UV-resistant plastic, which helps prevent fading and degradation from sunlight.
While technically possible, painting is not recommended as it may affect the UV resistance and the finish of the plastic. They are designed to be used in their white color.
Yes, these vents are designed to meet relevant building regulations for roof and eave ventilation.
Ensure the drilled hole is precisely 70mm in diameter. Re-drill if necessary. Check that the soffit material is not too thin or brittle.
Ensure the edges of the drilled hole are smooth and clean. Slightly beveling the edge of the hole might help. Do not force the vent; check hole size again.
Although made from UV-resistant plastic, extreme prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight over many years might cause minor discoloration. This is aesthetic and does not impact performance. Ensure you have the correct UV-resistant variant if this is a concern.
Setup: To install, first drill a 70mm diameter hole in the soffit board. Ensure the surface around the hole is clean and free from obstructions. The vent is then simply pushed into the hole until it sits flush and secure. The push-fit design requires no adhesives or fixings.
Compatibility: These vents are designed for use in standard soffit boards and eaves. They are compatible with most common building materials used for soffits. The 70mm hole size is a critical compatibility factor.
Care: The vents are made from UV-resistant plastic, requiring minimal maintenance. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic surface.
