I would like to have two of these installed in two attic rooms, so the bottoms would show. Could they be covered with a louvered grill and be okay?

I would think not. They are designed to be mounted on the roof at the level of the shingles. There is no flashing to the ceiling. They are designed to evacuate attic air.

I'll try and break the tie. Its an electric fan mounted in a heavy aluminum base (I dont think the pictures do them justice, these things are pretty big) that requires sunlight to shine on one side in order to work. IMO it doesnt really make any more noise than any other fan that moves a similar amount of air, my fridge is way louder. You would wind up with a 12" or so circular hole in the roof that the fan is fastened to the outside of; you would need to put some sort of grill over the inside of it to keep fingers out of the spinning blades. It probably would not amputate a finger but could easily make a nasty cut. Plus its not the prettiest thing on earth to look at. You will also need a substantial source of air into the room otherwise you will be creating a suction. If the two rooms are connected you could swap the wires on the motor of one of them (would require some electronics skilz) and have one suck and the other blow and get a draft through the area. You will also need to provide a way to close it off completely in winter to avoid letting cold in. You could put a switch on it in conjunction with the closing mechanism so it doesnt run when closed. Additionally roof vents (powered or not) are not as insect proof as window screens, the openings are bigger. Might be a consideration for inhabited areas.

It should not be a problem at all, as long the louvered grills do not interfere with the fan blade.

I dont see why not. It normally expects a large opening to be cut in the roof, but you should be able to put a grill over it and be OK. They will make some noise, a kind of humming sound which you would hear inside of a room.

I believe that you could. If you choose to leave the side shelves off, the sides of this grill are then flat. As far as clearance on the back side, it is also flat however you must allow room for the lid of the grill to be lifted up which will pass the back side of the grill. I would also keep in mind the counter that you are considering and any potential radiant heat that will come from the fire-box of the grill itself. You may want to explore the www.Weber.com web-site and look at grills that are dedicated to being "built-in".

You have to be careful because the bottoms are exposed aluminum. You can I suppose. But be careful.

That should not be too much of a problem. The top shroud should deflect direct heat way. Just dont put anything too close to it.

Yes, you can. I have even done two at the same time. If you were thinking you couldn't because of the top rack, it is plenty high. This is a great grill!Super easy to clean too!

I wouldn't have any problem with that. No ashes or coals come out the side or bottom. The bottom is high enough to keep heat away and the legs don't get too hot.

Well, I'm not sure what to tell you, because I'm not sure exactly what you mean :-) Both side and the back of the air conditioner have are slits in them... but I'm not sure I would call it a "grill"? The back of mine is hanging out of my 2nd story window, so I can't exactly get a good close-up look at it... sorry.

A cover would just be one more step in clean up in my opinion. I like the texture and taste of the grilled meats and covering them would change this to more of a steamed effect.

This is really designed for the outdoor grill, as there are openings between the bars so that the fat can fall into the fire. If you are looking for something similar for the stovetop, try one of the Lodge griddles - I believe they are flat on one side and have raised ridges on the other.

Doubtfull, the grill would obstruct and diffuse the light. The light would not be as effective.

if you add the one piece bug screen to the front of the grill you'll end up covering these very nice decorative inserts, however, there is another alternative, check out these inserts in youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3svM_ceLGbI

You will have to place them in the center of the grill only. Two or three grates would probably fit but you would not be able to cover the entire grilling area with mangrates.

Hi! These come at about 80'' if you are a craftsman you could probably cut them down...CAREFULLY! There is only one track for the top only. As long as you have top space for "two tracks'' I don't see why you can't put two together... one from the left and one from the right. The only issue I can see would be how the magnets attach together at the middle. The would retract each other so maybe a small metal plate in the middle. If you are looking for long term or deal with pets and children going in and out, then these are not a good choice. They will be flimsy at the bottom. Other than that they served my purpose of hiding an obscure linen closet. Good luck

You need a duct frame louverhttp://grilles.hvacquick.com/products/residential/Louvers/2-Inch-Exterior-Louvers

None that is exposed. The bottom has aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. That enables even heat distribution.

I agree with idget. Unless you already have one of these, I'd look for a product designed for horizontal mounting. You could also just passively vent hot air into the attic and use this fan (at an attic gable vent for example) or your existing attic ventilation to send the heat from the attic to the outside.

The manufacturer ships different grills for indoor or outdoor use. From my long history with these and related model of speakers, I'd advise keeping them pitched downward and in a way that avoids direct spraying of rain, sprinklers, etc.
