Custom Stainless Steel Replacement Screen for Existing Foundation Vents We offer replacement solutions for various vent configurations in existing foundations. Our do-it-yourself kit includes precut stainless steel screen sized to your vent configuration, cleaning brush, disposable Vulkem cartridge tip attachment (for inside screen position), miscellaneous installation accessories and detailed step by step installation instructions for replacement of the existing vent screen. Installation can be performed from the outside if access to the vent is unobstructed, otherwise they will have to be replaced from the crawl space side of the foundation.  The surface where the screen is to bond will need to be clean and dry. For screens positioned on the crawlspace side-  The perimeter where the screen is to bond needs to be in one plane, without voids such as rock pockets caused during the pour or a void at the top in the instance where the sill plate acts as the top of the vent and is set flush with the outside wall, leaving a 1/2" void from the inside face of the foundation wall.  If there is a wood form that makes a surround for the vent it should be in good condition (not rotten), and as above, the inside edge should be free of voids. You will need Vulkem 116 Polyurethane Sealant in a color that will be best suited to your vent configuration, a caulking gun, household cleaner, and in addition, a hot melt glue gun if the work needs to be performed from the crawl space side. Please note that as the Vulkem cures the disposable tip will be rendered useless. Most likely you will be able to salvage any remaining Vulkem for a month, but you will need to purchase additional Disposable Vulkem Cartridge Tip Attachments if you do not intend to install all of the vents on the same day. For screens positioned on the outside-  The first inch extending from the outside wall into the vent needs to be of sound material and reasonably straight.  You will need to supply us with width and height measurements for the various openings (some field trimming of the screens and/or parts may be necessary). You will need Vulkem 116 Polyurethane Sealant in a color that will be best suited to your vent configuration, a caulking gun, and household cleaner.
