Surface mount PVC gable vents are not only long-lasting, durable, and easy to install, but they instantly add tremendous value and character to a home's exterior. Upon arrival, the PVC should be painted before installation with the exterior color of your choosing. PVC gable vents are available in a functional option, to allow airflow, and in a non-functional option if you want to enhance the architectural features of your home. Keep the traditional look of an exterior gable vent, without the downsides of traditional wood, by ordering PVC gable vents.
