Ekena Millwork PVC Wall Vent Cover

The 12x12 vent looks nothing like the what was advertised. It has two slits which is not nearly enough to provide ventilation.

It's almost perfect for where I put it. I have a very high (~12') octagonal window in my bedroom, and it's impossible to find a shade that's right for it. But the sun shines in that window right in my eyes and wakes me up at 6am every morning, so I wanted to cover that window without making it look ridiculous. I have white plantation shutters on the lower windows, so it looks nice with those. The reason I didn't give it a higher rating is because there was a choice between "functional" and "non-functional" versions of this cover, but the terms weren't defined. I assumed they meant that functional has moving slats, and non-functional was slats that don't move. So I ordered the functional version to be sure I could close them all the way But what they meant was that functional has holes between the slats (for allowing airflow in an attic, I guess), and non-functional is solid - no holes. I should have gotten the non-functional version, because it would have blocked all the light. But I couldn't wait another day to get rid of that early morning light, so I just installed it right away and started getting the benefit of blocked light in the morning. It's much better, but I might someday replace it with the non-functional version.

Did not like item and tried to return it to find out it was non-returnable. Not happy.

It looks great ! I painted it brown to match the trim and shutters- it really sets off the cozy look.

Vent is described as functional, IT IS NOT, I had to cut screen and attach to back to keep insects out. Greatly overpriced for the quality.
