The main advantage of louvered grilles, in addition to decoration (they hide flaws on the wall) and protection from foreign objects entering the ventilation, is the ability to control the flow of air, strengthening or weakening it.
Important: at a certain inclination of the blades, air is drawn into the room or drawn out of it more intensively.
Where is the ventilation louver grille used?
This ventilation element is used wherever there is an air duct or where it needs to be installed:
- for ventilation of apartments, houses, other residential and office premises;
- to provide high-quality air for industrial facilities, warehouses, outbuildings;
- to regulate the humidity of underfloor spaces (installed on the foundation).

Blinds for ventilation are made of two types of material - metal and plastic. Both options have become widespread and have both advantages and disadvantages.
Features of metal products
Metal products - very durable, but this does not mean that such a grill will always work flawlessly, especially in the presence of small parts. The widespread opinion that metal products are more durable is not supported by practice.
Attention: metal blinds are susceptible to corrosion, so they are not recommended to be installed in rooms with high humidity.
Features of plastic products
Plastic blinds from modern manufacturers are also quite durable. Their main advantage is resistance to moisture, but some plastic parts can fail faster due to the fact that they often move.
Functional purpose
Products of the adjustable type have a simple design (when the angle of inclination of the blinds changes due to rotation around the axis), which, nevertheless provides their excellent functionality:
- Provide forced ventilation of the premises. This is important because the direction of the air flow can then be adjusted.
- Some products are produced together with fine mesh, which acts as a coarse filter.
- In the case where constant ventilation of the room is not necessary or even undesirable, such a grill is very easy to close. This is convenient in case of ventilation of underground spaces: in damp weather, the blinds on the foundation close, and open at normal humidity.
How to install correctly
It is not difficult to install blinds on an air duct, the main thing is to know the exact dimensions and design of this element. When assembled during construction, the process is usually straightforward.
Another thing is if you need to equip ventilation at an already built object - then you have to cut a hole in the wall or ceiling. It is not always possible to do this qualitatively yourself, because the error is in a centimeter or a few is noticeable and affects the quality and the possibility of installing the grill, therefore it is better to contact an experienced to the master.
Metal grilles are more durable. When installing plastic blinds, work should be done more carefully so as not to damage the structure at the attachment points. The main thing is to install the grill in such a way that nothing prevents the blinds from moving freely.
