Tropical Leaf Mahogany Soffit Vent Cover – 16x7 inches

Made from premium Santos Mahogany, this vent cover isn’t just decorative—it’s built to last. The tropical foliage is laser engraved into the surface, and the vent slits are 3/8" wide for airflow. If bugs are a concern in your area, a backing screen is recommended (not included). Each panel comes with countersunk mounting holes and 5/8" black screws for a flush and clean look when installed. Choose between a raw, unfinished surface for full customization or a satin UV-resistant clear coat that enhances the grain while protecting against the sun. Dimensions are 16" x 7"—great for soffits, vents, and indoor accent panels that deserve some attention.
