32 X 16 X 1 Half Round No Flange Metal Attic Exhaust Vent



Arched gable vents are easier than most think.

The width and height determine the arch.

Not the diameter nor half circumference.

Pictured here is a 32 x 16 as a true half round.


Browse for
Half Round metal attic exhaust vents

There is no flange added to this curved vent.

Yet the face trim is flat and smooth.




The depth is 1" so the slat spacing is 1" also.

And if your screen shows any part of this vent as pink or tan, trust me the entire vent is white.



To form the entire face trim flat without the pie crust appearance, we notch the back trim and turn each tab to overlap the edge of the next tab.

This allows the rear of the vent to mimic the face arch exact.





Aluminum insect screen and then wire mesh was added to prevent squirrels, racoons, roof rats and even field mice from entering the attic through the vent area.

With all this, this small vent still has 116 square inches of net free air.

To see what this vent is all about, we'll just flip it over a few times like a pancake. Hit a few highlights for each side. And probably still miss the most important features. Secure these Triangle aluminum louvered exhaust vents Starting with a picture of the front of this triangle vent… First thing I notice is it looks like a right angle. And, yes, the 34 x 17 is a 12/12 pitch. But we are still going to ask for the measures instead of the pitch. Why? Well, we don't know your framer. Was he having a bad day and cut on the wrong side of the line? This might change the pitch to 11.8 or 12.2. And on a triangle, that eighth of an inch cut might be 2 or more inches on a measure. Another consideration, did the framer have a beer in his hand when he cut the rafters? Or should he have had a beer to make the cuts more accurate? Or did Home Depot sell him straight as a snake lumber? Hmmm...

Triangle aluminum loft exhaust vents

A good example of this confusion...

This vent is 87 x 18 x 2.

Adding the back flange adds several more inches to the crate size.

But due to the wood crate dimensions,

it was able to ship via oversize ground.

Shipping is set by dimension restrictions,

not cubic inches.




The 2 inch thick vents have louvers spaced 1 1/2 inches apart

for better ventilation.

The vent face is trimmed with a 1 inch trimming.

And the back flange has additional coverage of 1 1/2".



All corners are turned and locked together.

Pop rivets are applied to add durability to the vent.

Corners are mitered

or aligned for a straight cut depending upon their position.

This produces a neater finished product.





Vinyl screen was chosen as the insect screen.

Depending upon the climate of the vent install,

most areas are best suited for aluminum screen,

but there are areas better for fiberglass screening.

 True 8/12 roof pitch.

This is where we can really see that some tiny vents are too small to vent.

At 24 inches on the base and 8 inches high in the center,

it would have had some ventilation.

But it was ordered not as the vent size measure,

instead, as the outer flange measure.

This makes the triangle vent even smaller.

Shop these Triangle aluminum attic exhaust vents

The vent was reduced to ensure the flange measures do not exceed the measures.
