About this asset

This rectangular door grille is a native Revit family designed for effective air circulation through door panels in building HVAC systems. The grille features a minimalist, clean-lined rectangular frame housing a series of parallel horizontal slats. Designed for installation within a door panel, the unit provides a functional solution for pressure balancing and passive airflow between rooms. The assembly consists of a primary face frame and a corresponding rear frame to securely sandwich the door material. The geometry is simple and efficient, finished in a neutral industrial grey tone. The proportions are balanced to accommodate standard door widths, ensuring the visual impact remains subtle while maintaining necessary cross-ventilation performance across various interior spaces.

The download is a 532 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

As a host-based Revit family, this component is designed to be placed directly into door panels within a project. Users should load the RFA file into their mechanical or architectural template and utilise the alignment tools to ensure proper centering within the door leaf. Parameters for width and height should be adjusted to match specific door dimensions, while the material finish can be mapped to project-specific metal textures or standard paint colours via the family type properties.

This grille is essential for residential, office, and healthcare projects where passive ventilation is required for interior rooms lacking dedicated supply or return ducts. It is frequently specified for store rooms, plant rooms, or bathrooms to enable air transfer while maintaining privacy. Professionals searching for air distribution components, door-mounted vents, or passive HVAC solutions will find this asset compatible with standard partition and door schedules. It integrates seamlessly into BIM workflows for coordinating mechanical services with interior architectural elements.
