The Iron Works Patterned Hit & Miss Vent in Polished Lacquered is a decorative ventilation grille produced in the classic interlocking foliate pattern of Victorian ironwork, finished to a bright polished surface and sealed with a clear lacquer to preserve the sheen. The result is a grille that catches light and reads as a deliberate architectural detail rather than a utilitarian fitting — appropriate where the building’s ironwork is polished and the ventilation grille is expected to match.
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 without removing the grille. The foliate face pattern — an interlocking arrangement of stylised leaf and stem forms characteristic of Victorian decorative ironwork — sits within a flat outer frame with integral fixing holes for face or flush mounting. Available in two sizes: 225mm × 82mm (single-course format) and 225mm × 150mm (double-course format). The polished lacquered finish is applied over the cast iron substrate and sealed to resist tarnishing.
This finish is best suited to interiors and sheltered external locations where the decorative quality of the grille is the primary specification requirement — entrance halls, reception rooms, vestibules, and other spaces where Victorian polished ironwork is part of the architectural character. It is also appropriate for listed buildings and conservation area properties where existing polished metalwork grilles are being replaced in kind, and where a painted or antique finish would not replicate the original specification.

For rooflights directly above a worktop or sink, a telescopic screw-jack hand winder is the most practical choice. Available in polished brass, satin chrome, and polished chrome, these openers allow controlled ventilation from a fixed handle position without requiring a pole. The 150mm or 250mm size is typically appropriate for standard-height kitchen rooflights.
Yes. All our mild steel brackets are supplied in either silver or black zinc plate. This coating protects the metal however, both will need painting prior to installation.
We have chosen to use zinc plating for two reasons; firstly that it is a more environmentally friendly than galvanising and secondly that it does not block up the threaded part of the rise and fall cups in the way that galvanising does.
The Brass Rooflight Pole Winder Opener 300mm is a screw-jack operated rooflight opener designed for manual control of timber-framed skylights and Lumen Rooflights. The 300mm fixed arm is suited to standard rooflight positions and is finished in polished brass.

The School Board Airbrick is suited to Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, mid-century school buildings, civic halls, public baths, and converted institutional buildings. Its plain square-grid face matches the utilitarian aesthetic of late-Victorian construction and is also appropriate for new heritage-style builds in conservation areas.
Our cast iron airbricks are available in three standard sizes: 225mm × 75mm (single course), 225mm × 150mm (double course), and 225mm × 225mm (square format). These correspond to the standard airbrick positions used in Victorian and Edwardian brickwork. Each size is available across the School Board, Louvre, and Ornamental pattern ranges.
