Need a vent for a kickboard

Jul 07, 2023 Last reply: 3 years ago 5 Replies

I'm looking for a vent to go in a kickboard on some kitchen cabinets, the kind that I have, and which was also on the ones I'm replacing for someone else, takes up the entire height of the board and is designed to replace the kickboard for about 25cm of its length and overlap the board at each end.



I can't seem to find ones of this design anywhere despite a lot of searching and I wonder if anyone else can suggest a source?


I have a silvery plastic louvred vent about 2.5" high in the plinth under my fridge to let it 'breathe'

Came from B&Q, looks like it's end of line though

One option is galv perforated steel, cut & bend the 4 edges

I've seen a lot of kick boards with a gap cut out of the top edge. It's not visible unless kneeling down as the cabinet overhang hides it.

Is it the same vent advertised for worktops?

Any of these of use?
