Features of metal ventilating overhead grilles

When building or repairing a residential house, I really want to provide comfort and coziness in it. The first is to think about the ventilation system. This will require ventilation grilles that perform not only decorative, but also many other functions.

Properly installed and equipped ventilation system is part of the modern premises. Clean air, which can be constantly updated in a residential house, apartment, office - a guarantee of an optimal microclimate, which is so necessary for human health. With insufficient ventilation in the room, carbon dioxide accumulates, and its high concentration helps to activate the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms.All this can cause poor health, as well as diseases of residents.

Judging from the foregoing, the ventilation system must be designed and installed even during construction and repair. These works should be carried out with full responsibility, and strictly according to the instructions.

Metal ventilation grille - a design that performs a lot of important functions:

• high-quality exchange of air in all parts of the building;
• Compliance with the safety regulations of the building - in case of fire, this construction draws out smoke and reduces the percentage of carbon monoxide poisoning
• providing a microclimate that is optimal for a person;

• protection of ventilation shafts from animals, objects and debris;
• eliminating unpleasant odor and airborne odor;
• decoration of the facade structures;
• improved traction throughout the ventilation system;
• collection of all the dust and soot.

Some types of grilles, due to the presence of a waterproof fan, are capable of removing excess moisture from a bathroom or lavatory at high speed. Overhead grilles for metal ventilation in office buildings and shopping centers that are under construction provide security indoors when there is no staff.

Metal lattices have many varieties depending on the structure, destination, installation location and size.

The grids are inflow, exhaust and universal in their purpose, and they are also divided into types depending on many factors.

Consider the types of lattices at the place of installation.

• Facade. These are decorative metal gratings, whose functions, besides air exchange, also include protective ones. The main frame is built into the wall, and the invoice is screwed. There are interesting options with a canopy, as well as in the form of doors.
• Ceiling. They are presented in the form of aluminum louvered grilles, lightweight and attractive in appearance.
• Outdoor. Mounted together with radiators for heating. For this purpose, the ideal option would be decorative metal grilles.
• Located on the bottom of the door. Such designs are relevant in kitchens, walk-in closets, in wardrobes.

Household sliding grilles appeared on the market not so long ago, but already managed to gain popularity.They can be used for both local and centralized ventilation. These designs are equipped with a noise absorption function. The all-metal expanded metal grate has earned good reviews due to its ease of handling, low weight and affordable price. It is rarely deformed under the influence of external factors, performing all the functions intended for it.

The grilles for the ventilation of the surface plan carry the function of decorating the entrances of the inlet and exhaust systems. They are often used for domestic, public, industrial purposes. Structures are installed on the hood, which is located on the wall, ceiling, inside or outside the structure.

Embedded grilles have a rather attractive appearance. Usually they are made of steel and can be painted in any color, which allows them to become an integral part of the interior. The lattice for ventilation with a latch is intended for the organization of competent air exchange in the room where high humidity is observed. Thanks to this design, not only the environmental conditions inside the room become comfortable, but also the lifetime of the materials increases.

Depending on the material of manufacture, metal gratings can be divided into such types.

• Stainless steel. These structures are considered to be quite durable, so they are often used during the construction of buildings. Due to the zinc coating, the grilles serve for quite a long time. In addition, these items have other advantages: durability, reliability and resistance to mechanical stress. Among the shortcomings can distinguish the complexity of installation and rather big weight.
• Aluminum GOST. Judging by the user reviews, these designs are considered the most durable. Lattices made of aluminum have the following advantages: lightness, durability, good adaptation to temperature differences, moisture resistance, ease of installation, resistance to environmental factors, affordable cost, long service life. From the minuses it can be noted that if the lattice size does not match, it can easily be damaged by a strong wind.

Recently, designed ventilation systems have moved away from standard, typical sizes.For a private house it is often necessary to develop an individual ventilation system and select design parameters. That is why the market offers a lot of dimensional variants of metal gratings for ventilation. The initial category of this item is 58x58 mm, 150x150 mm. Also, consumers often prefer models with a rectangular shape and dimensions of 170x80 mm.

Nowadays, ventilation grilles made of metal with dimensions of 204x204 mm and 300x300 mm are very popular. If desired, you can find a design with the necessary parameters or make it to order.

The design and functional purpose of the ventilation grilles is almost the same in different types. Therefore, selection criteria are considered universal. First of all, it is necessary to determine the place of installation of the grille and after that select the internal, external or transfer structure.

If the grille is installed outside the house, then it is better to opt for an aluminum product., as it does not rust, does not rot, is resistant to the effects of different nature. It is worth noting that it is better when such models are equipped with blinds.Internal metal grilles are able to withstand a load that is not as heavy as the previous ones. Overflow view is installed on partitions, doors and walls, performing air exchange between two rooms.

Next is to determine the design of the metal grill. You can choose adjustable, unregulated or inertial. You also need to pay attention to the appearance of products. Despite the fact that many designs are made in a light tone, with the use of paint, the color can be easily changed.

When choosing this product is worth paying attention to the absence of cracks, scratches, chips, swelling and any influx. Ideally, the edge of the metal ventilation grille is smooth, without chisels and burrs. The perpendicularity of the products must be necessarily preserved, the error can be no more than 0, 03 centimeters for every ten.

To pick up the ventilation grille is worth with all responsibility. The right choice with regard to recommendations is a guarantee of a long service life of the structure.

Professionals give some tips that will help in the selection and installation of metal grilles for ventilation:

• in case of floor mounting of the structure, it is necessary to choose durable metal goods;
• in the room where it is impossible to connect the ventilation system to the grill conveniently and hermetically, it is worth using an adapter;
• to prevent insects from entering the building during installation, a fine mesh should be used;
• to eliminate noise and greater comfort, it is recommended to install noise-absorbing ventilation grilles on the doors;
• the best option, according to consumer reviews, are designs with adjustable louvers, it is worth paying attention to when buying;
• if the grille is needed only for decorative purposes, then you should not overpay for its functionality.
