Questions & Answers
what is the fl # for this vent
Novik gable vents will fit any siding in any color! They come with an exclusive lock-on system that will facilitate installation and adjust to any siding thickness perfectly. Provide optimal air flow to your home while keeping weather and insects out! Ventilation area (approx.) 40.23 in
What is the net free vent area?
Gross Area: 18 in. × 12 in. = 216 square inches. Standard Efficiency: Most plastic gable vents have an efficiency rating of approximately 50% to 60% due to the thickness of the louvers and the frame. Estimated NFVA: 216 sq. in. × 0.55 (average) ≈ 118.8 square inches.
Can this vent be installed on a hardipanel wall with 1/2" sheathing? Should it be installed from the inside of the building?
Yes, you can install a polypropylene gable vent on a HardiePanel wall with 1/2" sheathing. Installation notes: Normally, gable vents are installed from the outside of the building, cutting an opening through the siding and sheathing, then fastening the vent flange to the exterior wall. For HardiePanel, you’ll need a carbide-tipped blade to cut the fiber cement siding cleanly. The vent is designed to be mounted externally, so installing from the inside is not typical — the flange and trim are meant to be exposed outside for weather protection
Will a 18 in. x 12 in. Polypropylene White Rectangular Gable Vent work on a bedroom door?
A gable vent is designed for attic ventilation, not for interior use like on a bedroom door. Gable vents allow attic airflow and are not designed for privacy, sound control, or interior aesthetics.
Can this be painted?
No, Novik Blocks and Vents should not be painted. Novik Blocks and Vents are made from a non-stick polymer that enables it to be weather and stain resistant. Due to these non-stick properties, paint will not adhere well to the blocks or vents. In fact, painting Novik Blocks and Vents will void the lifetime limited warranty.
I take it that, on a retrofit, I'd have to remove all my siding (cedar shakes) around where I'm going to put in the vent, and then re-install them after I cut the hole and install the first part of the vent. If so, are there better options for retrofit?
