For safe ventilation of engine room, cabin or locker

Boat ventilation grilles – built-in and surface-mounted, plastic and stainless steel

Looking for a ventilation grille for your boat? In this collection you will find ventilation grilles that are suitable for various applications: from engine room and cockpit locker to cabin and hatches. We offer grilles in different sizes, shapes and materials.

A popular choice is the built-in ventilation grille that is mounted directly in the skin of the boat and is connected to a hose from a bilge ventilator. These are available from us in white or black plastic. In addition, we also have standard slatted grilles and stainless steel versions for durable applications on board.

What types of ventilation grilles are there for boats?

Engine compartment and bilge ventilation

For active ventilation of the engine room you use a grille with hose nozzle, connected to a bilge fan. These are often mounted in the side of the boat and provide for supply or exhaust of air.

Ventilate cabin, locker or hatches

Use standard louvre grilles for natural air circulation in enclosed spaces. Ideal for use in the cabin door, a locker or the galley hatch.

Stainless steel ventilation grilles for outdoor use

In places where durability and appearance are important, such as on the deck or the transom, a stainless steel ventilation grille is the best choice. These are resistant to moisture, UV and salt water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between built-in and surface-mounted ventilation grilles?

Built-in grilles are placed in a recess so that they fit flush into the surface. Surface-mounted grilles are screwed onto the surface and are easier to mount. Built-in provides a neater finish, surface-mounted is often more practical.

Which grid fits a bilge fan?

Use a ventilation grille with hose nipple that you can connect to the hose of your bilge fan. These grilles are often placed on the outside of the boat for the supply or exhaust of air from the engine room.

Are there grilles with a non-return valve or insect screen?

Yes, some models are equipped with a non-return valve that only allows air to flow in one direction and provides protection against water ingress. For cabin ventilation grilles, versions with fine-mesh insect screens are also available.

Can I also use stainless steel grilles outside?

Certainly. Stainless steel ventilation grilles are excellent for outdoor mounting. They are corrosion resistant, durable and fit well with a neat finish on deck or on the transom.
