Features

  • Smart Vent Foundation Flood Vents are FEMA Compliant and ICC-ES Certified (ESR-2074) for 200 sq. ft. of flood protection per vent
  • Bi-directional flood vent feature allows for the free entry and exit of flood water, relieving hydrostatic pressure to help prevent foundation damage and lower your flood risk. Our Insulated model contains an insulated core and weather stripping to keep your enclosure as insulated as possible
  • The Smart Vent product line is constructed out of Marine Grade Stainless Steel and is 100% made in the United States. T316L Stainless Steel is renowned for its ability to withstand usage in harsh marine and chemical environments, ensuring that our products will handle everything Mother Nature throws at them
  • The lower flood risk associated with the proper installation of Smart Vents can lead to a much lower insurance premium for you home. Save money and protect your property with engineered flood vents
  • Easily surface-mounted over your foundation using Hurribond or an equivalent adhesive. Finish off your Insulated Smart Vent installation by adding our new Flood Vent Sealing Kit which creates a tight seal and finishes off the interior space

  • Look nice

  • Bought for customer!
Color: Stainless Steel
The city of Bellaire, Texas required some flood vents in the screen room that we installed. This product worked like a charm to meet city code and still keep the integrity of the screened area. It was well sealed, packaged, and was exactly what was promised. I will be looking at these again in the future if needed again in the future. ... show more

  • Worth it!! Install Hacks included
Color: Stainless Steel
Admittedly, I tried to be cheap and didn’t purchase the interior aesthetics kits (separate kit, ordered from Bradley Building Solutions) on the front end. It looked terrible without the interior framed out. The install of the entire assembly was a tough job but only because I had to cut through cement. Otherwise it would have been a simple installation. Regardless of gender, if you are handy then you can DIY. Install hacks: Use a level & trace an outline of the vent frame. Using a drill bit that exceeds the wall depth, drill holes in all 4 corners of your traced outline (make sure your bit makes it through both sides of the wall). From there, cut away & it will be level on the interior and exterior. If your cut on both sides is not level, the vent will not fit and/or it will not open properly. I used Hurribond adhesive to secure the vents, 1 tube was enough for both vents. To be in code, I believe one vent is required per 200sq ft. A standard garage is 400sq ft = 2 smart vents. Don’t trash the Elevation Certificate (3 pages front & back) Submit to your insurance company for a reduction on flood insurance. ... show more

  • Well made vent

Well made. I replaced a non ventilated vent with this one, and it fit perfectly.

  • The final product looks great and matches my modern style
Color: Stainless Steel
The final product looks great and matches my modern style. I watched a few installation videos before I decided to purchase these type of vents, but my installation process ended up been completely different to what is shown by the SmartVent videos. The company shows an installation in a flat wall surface (perfect world). It didn't workout that way for me. I had to use cement to install mine because I have a stone wall and I didn't think about the difficulty of the process. It turned out great, but it took a few hours and cement to get it done. ... show more
