9 x 3 British Made Square Hole Air Brick with choice of finishes, bare as standard or painted black ( + £10).
Simple and understated, the GRID3 is a natural choice for installation in conservation areas, suitable for the most elegant period properties and used within the Royal Crescent in Bath, England.
Choose a bare metal finish to allow to rust for “industrial look” or installation in red brick properties where the rust wont stain the render or bricks, for light bricks and coloured render choose painted black finish. Customers can also prime and paint bare metal air bricks to their own colours with oil or epoxy paints.
Painted vents use two part epoxy black gloss top coat which is hard wearing but is just a decorative finish, like all painted cast iron products it will require repainting from time to time, especially if situated on an exposed wall. Repainting can be frequent if the grille is positioned in the sunlight, or chipped or exposed to salt air . The gloss paint will dull over time, in exposed conditions it is likely to dull to a satin sheen fairly quickly. Regardless of the paint finish the cast iron grille will last for many decades with or without painting.
For company orders we can supply air bricks in any RAL colour, professionally primed with 3 part epoxy 2 part gloss or matt top coat at an additional cost of £200+vat- please email item number, quantity and RAL number for a proforma for this.
This imperial air brick can be used with the METIMP aluminium sleeve and/or duct tape to use with the metric plastic Rytons ducting for cavity wall sleeves and periscope duct which are available separately on this website.
It isn’t possible to install flymesh at the back of this air brick as the mesh will either become dislodged or will block without the ability to clean it. If flies, wasps and bugs are gaining entrance to the property via the vents and are a nuisance the FLY3 cast iron air brick with removable front and integral mesh may be a more suitable alternative. Please note mesh cannot legally be used (UK – current GAS Safe and HETAS regulations apply) vents where the vents are required to feed a combustion appliance or the room where there is a combustion appliance.
