Understanding Linear Slot Diffusers
What is a Slot Diffuser?
A slot diffuser (also called linear air diffuser or linear ventilation grille) is an HVAC component designed to distribute conditioned air in a slender, streamlined form. Typically installed in ceilings or walls, these diffusers help steer airflow gently into occupied spaces. The linear slot diffuser minimizes drafts while maximizing air coverage, delivering a stylish alternative to traditional diffuser types.
Types: Frameless vs Framed Diffusers
Ventmann offers a frameless slot diffuser design that lies flush with plasterboard surfaces, creating a minimalistic finish ideal for modern interiors. Other variants may include a slim frame but aim to preserve the linear aesthetic. Frameless options support seamless integration—perfect for architects and designers.
Key Features of Ventmann's Linear Slot Diffusers
Materials and Durability
Ventmann’s linear grille diffuser is crafted from strong, long-lasting materials. Designed to withstand wear and corrosion, these diffusers offer excellent longevity in both residential and commercial settings.
Design: Modern Grille & Adjustable Slats
Featuring a sleek grille diffuser design, each diff uses adjustable slots to direct airflow precisely. Whether you need focused streams or diffuse spread, the slats let you fine‑tune patterns for optimal comfort.
Size Options: 625 mm, 1,000 mm, 1,250 mm
To fit various layout needs, Ventmann provides slot diffuser lengths in 625 mm, 1,000 mm, and 1,250 mm. Choose single lengths or combine multiple for continuous expression in long ceilings or walls.
Slot Gap Variants (12 mm vs 18 mm)
The product comes in two slot width options—12 mm or 18 mm—allowing customization of airflow volume and diffusion style. Narrower slots offer silky, stealthy ventilation, while wider slots deliver stronger flow.
Slot‑count Flexibility: 1, 2 or 3 Slats
Select from single, dual, or triple slot diffusers to balance aesthetics with performance. Multiple slots boost air capacity, while a single slot gives a refined, minimalist look.

Improved Airflow and Indoor Air Quality
A linear diffuser grille spreads airflow widely yet softly, greatly improving air circulation and reducing hot or cold spots. Plus, with optional upstream filtration, these systems help filter out allergens and pollutants, improving indoor air quality.
Energy Efficiency and Noise Reduction
Proper airflow distribution can reduce strain on HVAC systems. Ventmann’s design also preserves quiet operation, lowering sound levels—a benefit especially important in offices and residences.
Seamless Plasterboard Integration
Ventmann’s frameless diffuser can be installed flush with surrounding plaster for a truly integrated look. The plasterboard vent matches the room’s surface, creating a sleek, modern finish.
Where to Install: Ceiling vs Wall Slot Diffusers
Residential Installations
In homes, linear ceiling diffusers provide streamlined, barely noticeable airflow vents. For wall installations, they offer refined perimeter ventilation that suits any modern décor.
Commercial and Office Solutions
Large open spaces, meeting rooms, and offices benefit from elongated ventilation grilles delivering even climate control. Ventmann’s systems integrate elegantly with suspended ceilings or wall panels.
Installation Guide for Linear Grille Diffusers
Tools Needed and Plaster Fixing
Installation starts with pre‑hung plenum boxes attached to ceiling or wall structure. Standard fixing uses jointing compound and plaster, sanded and painted for a seamless appearance.
Step‑by‑Step Installation Process
- Hang plenum with diffuser face exposed.
- Apply plasterboard to conceal diffuser edges.
- Use jointing compound and sand flush.
- Install filtering if needed.
- Adjust slots for proper airflow.
A detailed video guide is provided by Ventmann with each product for precise installation guidance.
Upstream Filtration & Plasterboard Finishes
Optional upstream filters trap dust and allergens before air enters the system. The plaster finish matches the room surface, maintaining a discreet diffuser outline once painted.

Cleaning and Filter Replacement
Regularly remove filters for vacuuming or replacement to maintain airflow efficiency. Use a soft brush to clean the slats periodically and ensure optimal performance.
