Direct Application Vent Panel

Direct Application Vent Panel

Flannery's Direct Application Vent Panels are an excellent tool for ventilating soffits or attic spaces. Our Direct Application Vent Panel can be utilized in both new construction and retrofits. They are a perfect solution for replacing rusted out or damaged vents since they can easily be inserted into the existing vent opening. We call these vents "Direct Application" because their nailing flanges have a beveled edge to them in order to allow the installer to apply the final finish. 

Vent Panels are ideal for drawing cooler air into the attic forcing warm or stale air to be exhausted through ridge, gable, and turbine vents. Many "do-it-yourself" stores sell aluminum vents that are as thin as a soda can which can easily be chewed through or damaged. All of Flannery's Vent Panels have a .050" thick walls, which make them some of the sturdiest vent panels on the market. Since our Vent Panels contain vent slots (1" x 1/8") and not holes, bees, wasps, and many other insects cannot fly or crawl through the vent. 

While many screen vents and other steel vents will eventually rust out, Flannery's Vent Panels will never rust out since they are manufactured from extruded aluminum. Flannery manufactures various sizes and lengths of the Direct Application Vent Panel. We also will make customs lengths if needed (10 Vent Panel minimum).

Manufacturer's Specification

To prevent oxidation spots, mill finished products must be covered with a primer and paint. Be sure to prevent primer and paint from clogging the vent slots.

Install all Direct Application Vent Panels to the framing with nails, screws, or other approved fastening methods.
