The front of the plate has a blue film on it which is easy to remove.
The only roughness I can find on the plate is the outer edges on both the front and back, but not enough that I did myself any harm whilst checking it out much more thoroughly than I would have if I wasn’t writing a review on it.
The plate itself feels very strong, and the 170x250mm version I have has very little flexibilty in it (even before being installed) which I like.
The package also included two pieces of paper – one glossy sheet which has installation instructions on the back, and a small slip of paper advising these must NOT be used to cover venting which is in use by gas appliances.
The last item in the package is a zip-lock bag with 4 screws and rawl plugs, which the instructions suggest are suitable for both wood and masonry.
I got this to put over a gap at ground level in the outer wall on a property which was previously hidden by a pretty heavy plant pot which had been there for many, many years. Although we can’t see a complete way through into the house, we suspect this is where the mice are coming in from. I’m confident that if this is their route, they won’t get past the plate. If they still appear, then we’ll have to look harder for another possible way in.

The grill is solid and sturdy without any major burrs along the edge to catch fingers on during installation.
A blue plastic film is still attached on the face side to provide protection during installtion, which comes away easily (it is best to remove completely before tightening the fixings).
The holes in the grill are suitably small to stop rodents gaining access, but unlikely to stop insects (an insect mesh would be required).
There is a good set of instructions included with the product and it also contains a warning not to use on air-bricks where a room requires ventialtion for wood burners etc.
The only real gripe I have is the poor choice of screws supplied (the instructions also state it can be glued on). As the grill is silver and made of aluminium alloy, it would have made sense to supply similar coloured screws, but the screws supplied are gold counter-sunk screws, which sit proud of the metal. Round-head screws would have also been the most obvious choice of screw type as well.

This arrives in a bubblewrap bag & comes with a small bag containing woodscrews & wall plugs to fix it in place.
If I were using this on the outside I would use other screws, but I’m using this on a vent which is inside the house so I used the included screws.
It’s strong, with barely any flex to it so if you have very uneven walls you may need to pack around the edges in order to seal it properly, but it does the job.
I used it to replace a very old grill which had lines across it with gaps big enough to stick a marker pen through which unsurprisingly didn’t stop any sort of rodent getting into the house.
Hopefully, this will do a better job in my never ending quest to make my house access free to small pests.
Impressed with the quality but the screws are a bit rubbish.

I received this item to hide a very old stained air brick vent in my kitchen.
My flat is very old and so the current one has been in situ for many many years and as you can imagine it looks as old as it is.
It is also situated in a tough spot high up on top of a kitchen unit.
I did like that you could choose from many different sizes when ordering this item as each air vent would be of varying size I guess dependant on the property.
I have tried everything I possibly could to clean up my vent as it does look like it could be blocked or full of all sorts, is an unsightly mess.
However nothing Iv done seemed to improve it or clean it up which is how I came to find this solution.
My slates are also pretty wide allowing all manner of things through which seems kind of pointless really.
This item has been a godsend as I have now been able to cover the unsightly mess easily with this item.
It is a little larger than I needed but this actually gives me more room to attach it securely to the wall.
There are little holes all over the cover that are big enough for it’s purpose but small enough that any creepy crawlers and rubbish within the wall could not now get through.
I have also found that the cold draft has reduced as the design of this vent reduces the backdraft.
This vent cover is also nice and thin so it sits on the wall snugly and doesn’t stick out.
This really is a great easy solution to my problems and I have already suggested them to my neighbours as we all have similar issues.
Vents like mine are so hard to clean out and as it’s built into the wall you don’t have much option to improve it so these covers are the simplest quickest way to deal with it.
The design allows it to still carry out its function but in a much cleaner and more presentable way.
If you needed to cut one to fit I doubt it would be difficult as they are nice and thin.
The silver now looks much more modern and clean. Allowing me to keep it clean whilst ensuring I am protected from any future debris.
My take away opinion is this really is a Brilliant very cost effective solution and I would happily recommend.

I got this to cover two plastic air brick that mice has chewed through. They did a beautiful job I must admit. I wonder where else they will chew next, definitely not on these plates.
Good quality. Protective blue film on outside face.
Simple robust drilled stainless steel design to keep out mice and allowing airflow.

This is a superb way of updating my old vent that not only traps dust and dirt but has huge gaps going across it which allows slugs etc to enter the house from the outside.
This replacement vent not only fixes this problem as it only has tiny holes running through it thanks to its mesh design. But it looks more up to date and is definitely more visually appealing.
Has pre- drilled holes for ease of application.
A sturdy metal construction.
Definitely recommend 👌

The panel comes with a protective plastic coating over one side, while the otherside was plain metal. It is about 1.5mm thick, and certainly no rodent is going to chew their way through that!
It has 4 mounting holes, one per corner. It came supplied with a bag of 4 screws and wall plugs, along with an instruction leaflet. The leaflet says you can use adhesive if you want, but that isn’t supplied. The instructions for the wall plugs and screws tells you how deep to drill but not what size drill bit to use to drill the hole. Fortunately I didn’t need to drill the holes.
There was some very minor cosmetic scratching on the uncovered side, but this is normal of metal products like this. Anyway that side will be towards the wall and never be seen. The protected side was just fine once the blue plastic was removed.
Overall perfect for the job, and looks the part once installed.
