What is this vent for and can i cover it up?
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 2.41 PM
There is a vent in my lounge and with the colder weather coming in it's making the room really cold. It says on it "do not obstruct" - but the heat is escaping out. Is it only needed if we use the gas fire? we just use the central heating, so can I cover it up? brrrrrrr
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Looks like that could be a gas vent if it says 'Do Not Obstruct' on it.
You maybe able to put an adjustable vent cover over it so it can be opened/closed but not entirely sure.
I'm sure a Gas Safe registered engineer will be able to answer your query better,hopefully a few will read your post and point you in the right direction.
