Less than a minute to install this new louvered triangle gable vent. Onyx Xteriors aluminum gable vents are made to order for each install. This cuts out a lot of wasted time for cutting larger holes and re framing vent openings to fit the vent. The vent should fit the opening and not the other way around.

These attic vents come pre trimmed for saving time and money. When hiding the fasteners, the vent will be finished after install. When face nailing in the nail fin or flange, it will need additional trim to make it look finished. By placing the vent into the gable wall opening and screwing the fasteners behind the louver faces right through the vent walls into the stud wall framing, the screw heads will be hidden. Also, by using screws to fasten the gable vent into place, the vent is now also removable. When accessing some tight attics, there may be no attic access door to enter. Removable vents can regain the attic access from outside the home's attic. These can be opened and re installed as many times as necessary. https://www.onyxxteriors.com/info/install.php The triangle louver vents do not require sealing or flashing if installed on a gable wall covered with siding where the bottom flange is over or outside the siding. The front flange triangle vent is the most ordered and common since it's almost universal for installing a gable vent. Not only do they vent the most hot air from the attic due to their top loft placement, but require the least effort for installing. Choosing the shape of the gable vent may be influenced by the area of the home to be installed. So, what shapes are common for gable vents to be? https://www.onyxxteriors.com/info/measure.php Is there different flange, install or nail fin options for a gable vent? Most stucco, brick and window frame vent installs are best accommodated with a no flange vent that has no nail fin added. J channel trimmed vents are pre set for vinyl siding and Hardie Plank siding products or any siding similar, like metal siding. When dealing with new construction, a back flange may be more beneficial as it is installed then sided or bricked around. But the front flange is still the most common. https://www.onyxxteriors.com/info/flange.php Of course, feel free to call 901.281.2887 with additional questions or drop us a line at contactus@onyxxteriors.com
