The Iron Works Patterned Hit & Miss Vent in Polished Brass is a decorative ventilation grille produced in the classic interlocking foliate pattern of Victorian ironwork, cast and finished in solid polished brass. The brass finish gives the grille a warm, distinctive character that sits correctly with Victorian and Edwardian brass joinery fittings — letterplates, door furniture, window catches — where a matching material is the specification rather than an approximation.
The grille operates as a true hit and miss vent: a sliding plate on the reverse moves across the apertures to open or close airflow as required, without the need to remove the grille. The foliate face pattern — an interlocking arrangement of stylised leaf and stem forms closely associated with high Victorian decorative metalwork — sits within a flat outer frame with integral fixing holes. Available in two sizes: 225mm × 82mm (single-course format) and 225mm × 150mm (double-course format). The polished brass finish is solid throughout, not plated, giving it the durability and colour depth expected in a heritage specification.
The Polished Brass finish is the correct specification where existing building ironwork is in brass — entrance lobbies, Victorian public buildings, churches, quality residential properties — or where the client requires a warm metal tone rather than the cooler grey of cast iron. It is appropriate for listed buildings and conservation area properties where the original ventilation grilles were in brass, and for new heritage-quality construction where the specification calls for solid brass fittings throughout.

We manufacture a wide variety of brackets for many different cast iron gutter and pipe profiles. More common types are the rise and fall, top fix and side fix rafter and the holderbat or pipe clip.
We can also offer traditional drive brackets, repair brackets and fascia brackets in both steel and cast iron.
It is always advisable to replace like with like because quite often the brackets form and important part of the buildings architecture. Occasionally buildings have special decorative brackets and our UK manufacturing allows us to produce small quantities of bespoke brackets when required.

The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian, Edwardian, and inter-war residential and commercial properties where the louvre-pattern vent was the standard specification. It is the correct like-for-like replacement on listed buildings and conservation area properties, and suits new heritage-style construction requiring an authentic period ventilation grille.
Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically appropriate choice for listed buildings, and are generally preferred by conservation officers and local planning authorities over modern plastic alternatives. Tuscan Foundry cast iron hopper heads are manufactured in solid grey iron and are suitable for use on listed buildings and within conservation areas. A linseed oil finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for sensitive heritage projects.
