Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Foundation vents are sized by net free area, and at 50 sq. in. each, these units are straightforward to count against your local crawl-space ventilation requirement. The molded-in screen means no separate screen to fit during installation, and the included optional fixed louver lets you set the vent for season or airflow preference. Match the color to the foundation or trim for a finished look.
Follow local building codes for minimum crawl space ventilation when planning the number and placement of foundation vents.
Ventilate your crawl space with the Mid-America FoundationMaster molded kit vent.
