Cannot fix to a flat wall as the sliding part is behind the face plate and needs space to move.

Must install with some draft tape to lift the face off the wall which isn't as sightly as would have liked.

Feels decent enough quality but should be for the price.

This is by far the best Hit and miss Air vent I've purchased, its well made and solid, I think it's far better then the aluminium version

So many cheap brass ‘coloured’ vents for sale. This is a solid, well made vent that is fit for purpose . Good delivery service too.

The vent cover is made well and is finished to a high standard. As others have commented, the screws supplied with it are very short and would only be suitable to hold the vent on to a solid wall i.e. not plasterboard. Also the open/shut mechanism is proud of the back surface so the vent either needs to be mounted in a perfectly sized recess or raised off the surface of the wall by a few mm in order not to foul its operation. I applied a strip of self-adhesive insulating foam to achieve this. That said I would buy one again.

Was nice quality, coated in plastic film to protect the pristine finish. The screws are small but I used the small yellow plugs and a small masonry bit and had no problems fixing to the wall. I added a bead of flexible sealant and wiped off the excess after tightening the screws - it’s a very tidy finish to what was a bit of a mess.

Item as described. Dpd driver delivered to wrong address then took picture of wrong house, then said we weren’t in. But I was working in front garden at the scheduled time. Tried to call dpd to get him to return only to be told I was being charged £6 for the call. Absolute joke I won’t be ordering again. This wasn’t the first time either

Great quality and quick deliver too.

The finishing of the vents facing outwards is great and protected with a plastic film where you can peel it off after installation.

I do recommend to take more caution during installation as the finishing surface facing inwards could have sharp burrs. After a quick sanding solve this issue and it’s all good.

Really nice looking item. Fits lovely into my traditional house. Nice quality. The only downside, as someone has already mentioned, is the size of the tiny screws. They would not go into my walls - too small for a plug, and just kept coming out. I had to go and buy screws and plugs, which was a bit disappointing.

An easy to use, efficient website. The product arrived on time and was as described. I would recommend fitting a rubber seal on the back to allow the vent to slide easily when fitted on a flat wall.

After a few bad experiences recently of receiving poor quality items from other retailers, this was a really positive experience! I bought three brass wall air vents for three rooms I have been redecorating. They are beautiful quality. The whole process of using the website, ordering the items, getting delivery notifications and receiving the items was faultless and a rare occurrence at the moment! We will definitely be buying other items from this company. Keep up the good work!!! Highly recommend.

I bought three antique brass 9x6 vents and they are a beautiful addition to the room and exceptionally well made. When putting them up I strongly recommend putting a very small rubber seal on the back as you won’t notice it but makes it easy to open and close the vent.

Cover is fine, but comes with tiny screws that are no use in attaching the cover to either masonry or to a wooden panel (screws are 1cm long, so too short for any sort of rawl plug).
