What is Cellular PVC?
VERSATEX Brand Cellular PVC is the premier choice for synthetic wood. It has the look and feel of real wood. It's about the same density as White Pine, so it doesn't have that hard plastic sound when tapped nor is it cold to the touch. Items we cut from Cellular PVC have the same crisp corners as our wood items. There are no air bubbles or other voids and it's the same semi-matte white color throughout. VERSATEX is a HAHB Green Approved Product.
*Please note - All vents with a base of larger than 60" needs to have shipping cost confirmed by Bestlouver. Best option is to order a split vent for any 72" base items and the order can be placed as is. This site can not calculate oversized shipping for one piece construction.
ORDERING THE RIGHT SIZE VENT
When calculating your center triangle order size please order to the size of your rough opening. We will reduce your order size by a standard 0.5" on the width and height dimensions to make sure our louver box fits your rough opening.
Example: your rough opening is 36"B x 24"h. We will make a louver box size of 35.5"w x 23.5"h with the trim overhang of 1 7/8".
- All surfaces are white, smooth and paintable if desired
- The gable vent is mounted by nailing through the face trim into the siding.
- All gable vents are fitted with aluminum screening on back of louver box.

ORDERING A LARGE VENT? Consider "Splitting it".
For large vents with over a 48" base you can consider a split vent to save on shipping cost, picture available above. Some reasons for ordering a standard split vent:
- Save shipping costs. On a typical order $80 to $150 can be saved depending on the size and quantity order.
- Ease of installation. The two halves fit exactly together in the center with a trim piece already attached to one half that covers the joint in the middle. Also, the weight of standard vents ranges from 15lbs to over 200lbs. Installing a split vent reduces the amount of weight being handled.
- Appearance. The split vent is a unique look that many customers find appealing. The two equal halves are pre-trimmed and ready for installation. Simply bring them together in the middle and fasten into place. The center trim, or mullion, is factory attached to one of the halves and will completely conceal the center joint.
Please see specification sheet download for complete information.
