Architectural linear grilles with a tool-adjusted baffle. Set the airflow once and it stays that way.

KÜL wall vent mounted on a plaster wall Matte Black

The baffle is the difference.

Behind the bars sits an opposed-blade baffle you adjust with a hex key through the face. No lever to bump, nothing that drifts, and no need to take the grille off the wall.

Set with a hex key

A 3 mm key reaches the adjuster between the bars. About six turns go from closed to open.

Stays where you put it

A threaded adjuster holds the setting through years of airflow and vibration.

Quiet by design

Tensioned pivots hold the blades firm, so nothing rattles when the system starts.

Engineering the
back baffle.

Behind the face bars, a sealed sleeve holds six opposed blades driven by a self-locking worm gear. A hex key turns the worm from the front of the grille, and the worm turns the blades. Air pressure on the blades can't turn it back.

Drive path

Hex key→Worm→Worm wheel on drive blade→Linkage bar→All six blades

Why it holds its setting

A worm gear can turn its wheel, but the wheel can't turn the worm. Duct pressure, fan start-up and vibration push on the blades, and the worm holds them in place. Only the hex key changes the setting.

Why opposed blades

Neighboring blades rotate in opposite directions, so air leaves straight through the face bars instead of being pushed to one side. Opposed blades also give finer, more even control at partial settings than a single-blade damper.

Why it stays quiet

Blade pins run in nylon bushings that need no lubrication and don't click. The sleeve is sealed to the flange with a foam gasket, so air goes through the blades rather than whistling around the edges.

Four finishes.
One clean line.
