FAQs

Can this be used on a radiator?
Yes, it is designed for air exchange in radiators to help distribute heat effectively.
What are the exact dimensions?
The grille measures 500mm in length and 100mm in height.
Is the material rust-resistant?
Yes, it is crafted from durable aluminium, which offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion.
Where is this product manufactured?

Can I paint this grille to match my walls?
While it comes in a finished brown colour, you could potentially apply a metal-safe primer and paint, though this is done at your own discretion.
Troubleshooting
The grille does not click into place
Verify that your cutout dimensions are exactly 500mm by 100mm. If the hole is too large, the bridge will not engage correctly.
The grille feels loose after installation
Ensure the material thickness of the panel you are mounting into is standard for furniture board. If the material is too thin, you may need to add a shim to the underside of the panel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the unit, you must first create a clean rectangular cutout measuring 500mm by 100mm. Because the retention system relies on friction and the ribbed bridge, ensure the cutout edges are straight and free of debris. Simply align the grille with the hole and apply gentle, even pressure until the bridge clicks into place.
For maintenance, the aluminium surface can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical abrasives or acidic cleaning agents, as these may damage the brown finish over time. Inspect the grille periodically to ensure that lint or dust has not clogged the slats, which could impede proper airflow.
