Fypon offers a diverse assortment of decorative, non-venting and functional, venting louvers to complement most architectural home styles.
Functional louvers are designed to provide additional ventilation, with angled slats and screening to help protect interiors from the elements
If you are ordering a functional louver, you should order a louver that is approximately 2" larger than your rough opening on all sides. This will allow you to attach the louver to the substrate through the brickmould edge. Functional louvers are slatted for air flow with a screen on the back. Note: Slats are not operable.
Fypon polyurethane products are factory primed. Depending on product location, always use interior/exterior-grade, PUR compatible adhesives, sealants, and fillers when installing Fypon products. Consult the manufacturer’s recommendations for your particular climate and the substrate you are installing to. Depending on product location, always use interior/exterior-grade, PVC compatible adhesives, sealants, and fillers when installing Fypon products.
Fypon polyurethane products can be cut and trimmed with standard woodworking tools, including table saws, circular saws, jig saws, band saws and miter saws. Trimming product will remove the smooth finish and create an exposed polyurethane edge. This edge must be primed to protect the exposed polyurethane. Fypon polyurethane products must be finished with paint or stain within 90 days of installation to protect the product from discoloration from the sun.
Description Gable Vents work to provide ventilation, releasing stagnant air, preventing damage from humidity, and optimizing temperature control. Gable Vents are particularly useful during the summer months when hot air rises and is trapped in the attic, where it can transfer itself down through the Ceiling and back into the level below, decreasing the effectiveness of air conditioning systems. A gable vent is located at the attic area, commonly on the exterior wall where the two planes of a sloping roof join, forming a triangle. The gable can be any symmetrical shape, but the triangle is among the most common. Other vent shapes include rectangles, steeples, circles, and octagons. Gable Vents are fitted with horizontal ventilation slats called louvers. A mesh screen placed behind the vent allows air to circulate while keeping insects out. A gable mounted Ventilator helps to push air through the louvers. The Ventilator removes air from the attic through the use of turbines or fans. The gable Ventilator commonly requires no carpentry, as it is mounted on the interior of the wall behind the gable, however, electrical installation is required.
