Window vent-panel for air conditioner or tumble dryer with  6"/150mm, 5"/125mm or 4"/100mm hole for exhaust hose or custom attachment (Note: main picture shows a vent-panel with a third-party wall-flange with spigot - not supplied by us - to which the exhaust hose is connected.)

Don't delay - once it gets hot and the orders stream in, it can take up to 3 weeks for you to receive your vent-panel and by then it may be to late to enjoy its benefits.

The heat is on and with global warming it's only going to get hotter.  So why spend hundreds of £££s on an air conditioner and then skimp on getting the hot exhaust air out of your room and keeping the cool air in.  Even if you don't use your vent-panel much this year, you will next year and the year after - it's an investment in improving the efficiency of your unit and the level of comfort you'll enjoy, now and in the future.

See what our customers have to say: "I just tried out the new panel and it is perfect and a thousand times better than the rubbish fabric window kit that I used before."

To keep the warm air out and the cool air in you need one or possibly two things plus optional extras:
  1. A vent-panel to replace your window in the window frame.
  2. A way of connecting your airconditioner's exhaust hose to the vent-panel.  This is optional and you can just go with a standard 4/5/6" round hole. However, this is unlikely to provide you with a good seal or a quick/easy way of connecting/disconnecting the exhaust hose from the vent-panel.  So many of our customers also buy either a modified user-supplied slider (where we adapt the window slider into which the fishtail connects) or a custom adapter (for de Longhi, AEG and other makes).  The polycarbonate is unfortunately not strong or thick enough to take a fishtail directly. Some manufacturer supplied wall-flanges just need a round custom hole size.
  3. Any extras we can supply to complete your installation such as drilling holes to hold wall flanges in place, the bolts and foam tape to improve the seal.
Vent-panel features:
  • Suitable for both sash (wooden, metal or plastic) and outward-opening UPVC windows
  • One circular hole as standard or shaped/multiple holes as custom
  • Various hose connection options available
  • Can be sized so it is fitted against your window frame with velcro or magnetic tape
  • Next day delivery available (note: this is not next day manufacture)
  • Kit comes with a set of hooks and elastic cords
  • Folding vent-panels for extra-large windows and sliding patio doors (overcome the cost of carriage for large items and makes them even easier to store) - ask us to quote
  • A made-to-measure, hard but non-permanent solution that can be easily stored when not in use
  • No tools required
  • Easy and quick to fit and remove
  • Lightweight, twinwalled construction helps keep both heat and noise out
  • Doesn't damage décor, fixtures or fittings
Please look at all the pictures associated with this listing and the video as they will help you understand what you need  to ensure a successful vent-panel installation.


1) Ordering your vent-panel
a) Measure the apperture of your open window in centimetres to the nearest milimetre. (1.9cm will be added to each of these dimensions unless you use the word EXACT in the instructions that accompany your order)
b) Multiply the height in centimetres by the width in centimetres to get the area of in square centimetres.
The following are examples:
Height cm Width cm Area cm² Orientation What to order Maximum

Example 1 35.2 57.0 2,006 Landscape Up to 4,000cm sq 116
Example 2 64.5 45.3 2,922 Portrait Up to 4,000cm sq 116
Example 3 117.8 49.8 5,866 Portrait Up to 6,844cm sq 116
Example 4 133 71.3 9,483 Portrait Up to 10,360cm sq 148

d) Add to your basket.

2) Selecting and ordering your connector
Options for connecting your exhaust hose to a vent-panel.
NOTE: A) If you don't yet have your air conditioner we recommend that you wait for it to arrive to see exactly what you get with it.
            B) The twinwalled polycarbonate is not either thick enough or strong enough for you to connect a fishtail to it and that's why we advise the purchase of a custom adapter.

3) Selecting accessories
a) Select anything from the Hole size: dropdown.
b) Select the accessory you want from the Vent panel size: dropdown.
d) Add your accessory to your basket.

If you want to know what's best for your window/air conditioner and have your inquiry dealt with quickly you please send a message with all of the following (without this there may be a delay):
  • Photographs and dimensions of the aperture of your open window (Height, Width & Portrait or Landscape)
  • Photographs of the end of exhaust hose including any fishtail
  • Photographs any additional fitments such as a wall flange or window-slider that a fishtail would plug in to
Note: You can send photographs using the eBay messaging system and it's against their terms for me to provide you with contact details.

For any portable air conditioning unit or tumble dryer to work properly you need to exhaust the hot moist air it generates from the room. How do you do this without drilling a hole in the wall or having an open window through which the warm air you are trying to keep out comes back in?

You buy a window vent-panel. The simple, lightweight and easy to fit solution to providing for the exhaust of a portable air conditioning unit or tumble dryer.


Limitations
  • minimum window opening size 26cm x 40cm (internal window aperture dimensions)
  • maximum window opening size 105cm x 196cm* (internal window aperture dimensions) *panels over 116cm and up to 148cm long subject to additional carriage charge of £7, over 148cm long or more than 1msq, price to be quoted)
  • split panels designed to be stacked or folded can be made to cater for large apertures or to avoid extra-large carriage charges
  • rectangular or square-shaped windows only (other shapes and extra large by special request)
  • there needs to be a gap of at least 1cm between the edge of the open window and the window frame on the hinged side in which the vent-panel will sit
  • not suitable for inward-opening windows or velux
  • fixing hooks must be affixed to smooth, dry and clean surfaces and have a footprint of 28mm wide x 22mm high (you can fit your own fixing hooks)
  • the vent-panel is not burglar-proof and should be removed and the window closed when unattended
The production of your vent-panel will not begin until all the necessary details have been provided.
Please check your email regularly after placing your order in case any further information is needed.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
  • The vent-panel you receive will be 19mm bigger for each dimension you provide so it can overlap the window frame (we will add 19mm to the height you give us and 19mm to the width you give us giving 9.5mm overlap all round the window frame). If you want the panel cut to the measurements you supply please say that you want it cut to that EXACT size.
  • If you are fitting the vent-panel to a sash window say so, as the extra applied will only be 12mm and only apply to the width of the vent-panel. The height of the panel will be determined by the size of the hole requested.
  • As standard, your vent-panel will come with holes for the elastic cords. If you plan to attach the vent-panel using velcro or some other means and don't want any of these holes please specify NO CORD HOLES.
  • This is not precision engineering and so sizes and dimensions might differ slightly from those specified but we endeavour to cut so that no further modification is required; holes and exact sizes may be a fraction bigger than asked for.
  • Unless requested otherwise, the vent hole will be situated towards a corner of the panel. This will allow it, depending on how you orientate the vent-panel, to be top or bottom, left or right.
  • This is a made-to-measure item and refunds or returns are only available if there is a manufacturing defect.

Tips
  • The seal around a vent panel can be improved by adding draught excluder where it makes contact with the window frame.
  • Do not overtighten the elastic cords as they will pull the fixing hooks off the window frame.
