EXAMPLE
HOW TO INSTALL Envisivent ™ REMOVABLE
VENTS AND ACCESS PANELS
1. Remove the vent cover from the frame and place the cover against the wall
and trace the outline of the cover with a pencil (refer to blue lines)
2. a) For new installations: Cut along the outer edge of the traced outline
using a drywall saw or utility knife.
b) For existing openings: You may need to adjust the size of your
existing drywall opening by cutting your opening larger to 昀椀t the vent.
3. IMPORTANT: Ensure the metal frame with holes sits 昀氀ush to the outside
of the drywall, while the frame bed sits inside the drywall opening.
Dry 昀椀t the back of the metal frame, with the vent cover in the frame, into
the cut hole to ensure a proper 昀椀t. If needed, add wooden backing for
additional support behind drywall.
4. Keep the vent cover in the frame during installation to ensure it’s square
and ensure the metal frame is sitting 昀氀at and 昀氀ush to the drywall.
5. Secure the frame using 1¼” 昀椀ne-threaded drywall screws.
6. Space screws 6 to 8 inches apart, fastening through the frame holes into
the drywall and wood backing/stud.
7. After securing the frame, remove the vent cover insert. Tape, mud, sand
and repeat until you have the desired effect and the frame is concealed.
8. Paint vent cover to your desired colour or wall paper.
