Ventilation grilles, also known as cover vents or louvre vents, are frames or fences (grilles) installed across ventilation openings. They have some commercial and industrial usage, where they are typically fitted to exit positions for air conditioning or ducting. However, they are also applicable in domestic applications such as bathroom extractor fans and tumble dryers. A ventilation grille comes in various sizes to suit a specific location for its installation. These devices can be made of plastic, polyamide 6, and steel. Furthermore, these grilles protect openings and provide security for vent installations. Cover vents also defend customers from the extractor fan's spinning blades in case of an accident.
Purpose of Ventilation Grilles
In modern engineering, a grill can be anything that covers up an opening in the structure of a building to enable the air to enter or exit. A grille is a vent cover that allows air to enter or exit a space so that it can be recirculated back to the central heating or cooling system. These vent grilles are frequently encountered if you have heating or central air conditioning.

Applications of Ventilation Grilles
In most of the buildings of today’s world, vent grilles can be seen in bathrooms, kitchens, walls, roofs, and even ceilings for the purpose of the air ventilators to protect them from any damage.
