Larger Wall Vent That Blends In
InOvate's Premium Wall Vent is suitable for kitchen range hoods and other larger ducting applications and is available in white, tan, black, and brown.
I have been using the 4-in. wall vents from InOvate for years, so it just made sense to switch to the newly released 6-in. Premium Wall Vent from the same brand for larger ducting applications such as kitchen range hoods and bathroom exhaust systems. This wall vent consists of an 8-1/2-in. by 8-1/2-in. frame, a 6-in. circular wire-mesh screen, and a secondary fastening plate with a rain drip edge. One of my favorite features of the Premium Wall Vent is the magnets that hold the damper closed when it’s not in use. Products without this feature can produce “damper chatter,” a common source of callbacks that require our service teams to return to the site to do what we can to fix that noise. The exhaust screen on the InOvate vent is also a great feature that provides pest and weather protection.
Made of powder-coated Galvalume steel—which itself is made from zinc, aluminum, and steel—this wall vent is available in white, tan, black, and brown to blend in with common siding colors, and color matching is also an option. Pricing starts just under $65. Since this is a new product, suppliers may need to order from InOvate directly.
