Louvers & Gable Vents

A gable louver, printed as “louvre” on the catalog, is the vent or the decorative face in the wall at the end of a gable roof. It is not a ridge vent, not a soffit vent, and not a roof turbine. It fills the triangle, arch, half-round, or peak under the rake.

Open louvers have a screen back and leave a passage between the slats so air can move. Closed louvers keep the outer shape and use a solid face, for a wall that should look like a vent and not act as one. Order the function you framed. Open belongs in a framed opening when that gable is part of how the attic breathes. Closed belongs where the wall is already sealed, or where the elevation only needs the profile.

Shapes are rectangle, round, half-round, triangle, arch-top, and round or oval with a keystone. The category also includes an attic access door with an open louver face, LOAD 2231, 22 by 31.

The parts are made of high-density polyurethane, water-impervious, factory-primed, and ready to paint for interior or exterior use. Use PLP100 on every bedding joint and butt joint. Other adhesives can attack the urethane.
