The plastic version will be faded, cracked, and replaced twice in that time. One purchase, done right.

Stop patching in plastic. The Ekena Millwork 24" Round Gable Vent is handcrafted in the USA from Smooth Western Red Cedar — the same premium material that builders specify for high-end exterior trim work. A true functional louver vent with built-in metal insect screen, a bold 1"×4" flat trim frame, and an unfinished surface ready for your paint or stain. New. In factory packaging.

Critical Sizing Information — Read Before Purchasing

Understanding the two dimensions before purchase prevents the most common gable vent buying mistake:

•    Rough Opening (Vent Size): 24" W × 24" H — this is the opening in your gable wall that the vent body fills

•    Overall Frame Size: 29" W × 29" H — this is the outer dimension of the trim frame that overlaps the siding surface

•    Rough Opening Prep: Cut or frame your rough opening to 24"×24". The 1"×4" flat trim frame covers the surrounding siding, creating a finished appearance around the opening.

•    Installation Note: Functional louvers open toward the bottom to allow airflow while shedding rain. The louver orientation in this product is fixed and correct as shipped — do not install upside-down.

Key Features

•    Smooth Western Red Cedar — Premium Exterior Material: Western Red Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, insect-resistant, and dimensionally stable — ideal for permanent exterior installation. Unlike pressure-treated pine, cedar requires no chemical treatment and accepts paint and stain beautifully. Ekena's smooth-sawn cedar is a step above rough-sawn texture, giving you a cleaner surface for finish work while retaining natural wood character.

•    Functional Louver Design — Real Attic Ventilation: The angled horizontal louvers allow warm, moist air to exhaust from your attic while preventing rain and debris from entering. Proper gable vent airflow prevents moisture buildup, which is the leading cause of attic structural damage, mold growth, and reduced insulation effectiveness. This is not a decorative vent — it provides real, measurable airflow.

•    Built-In Metal Insect Screen: A factory-installed metal mesh screen on the interior face blocks insects, birds, bats, and small rodents from entering the attic through the vent opening. The screen is secured and does not require field installation.

•    Unfinished — Paint or Stain Ready: The smooth cedar surface arrives ready to accept your choice of exterior paint, solid-body stain, or semi-transparent stain. Cedar takes finish exceptionally well and holds color longer than pine or composite alternatives. Match any exterior color scheme without compromise.

•    1" × 4" Flat Trim Frame: The flat trim surround extends 29"×29" overall and creates a bold, architecturally defined frame around the vent opening. The flat profile suits craftsman, colonial, farmhouse, and contemporary exterior styles. A wider trim frame vs. a minimal brickmould frame creates more visual presence — ideal for vents positioned prominently on a gable face.

•    Handcrafted in the USA: Ekena Millwork produces this vent in the United States from domestically sourced Western Red Cedar. Made-to-order craftsmanship, not mass-produced imports.
