How to Measure

1. Remove current vent covers

Note: Do NOT measure the existing air vent cover. Every vent cover has its own unique size of frame so we cannot use the old vent cover as an accurate measurement guide.

2. Measure the existing hole

Note: For custom size vent covers please send the exact dimension of the existing hole. This helps determine a more accurate measurement and what size would fit best.

3. Determine the grille size

At kul grilles, we offer a large variety of grille sizes that will suit your space. If you don't see your required size, please contact us for a custom quote

Wall and Ceiling Application

Our grilles scan be used for wall and ceiling applications as well as for standard floor vent covers. To mount vent covers securely to a ceiling or sidewall, select the "Yes" option from the "Include Mounting Holes" menu option as listed on our product pages.

Countersunk screwholes

Countersunk screw holes are visible from the face of the air vent cover and are required for sidewall and ceiling mounting applications.

Mounting hole dimensions

Matching finish flush mount screws are supplied with every order where the mounting hole option is selected.

Number of screws required for various vent cover sizes

Different sized vent covers do require a different number of screw placement holes to ensure that the vent cover is sufficiently secured into a sidewall or ceiling. The following diagram outlines how many screw holes will be visible on each vent cover size and exactly where the screw placement hole will be placed on the frame for each vent cover.
