The Flexy roof vent made of ABS plastic offers an effective, maintenance-free solution for reliably ventilating vans and commercial vehicles. It helps to significantly reduce heat, stale air, and condensation, especially when transporting damp or strong-smelling cargo. Its extremely flat design makes it ideal for vehicles with low entrances and curved roof areas.
Flexy – ABS plastic roof vent for vans
The robust roof vent has a ventilation cross-section of 100 cm² and offers high chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, vegetable and mineral oils, and various solvents. This makes it particularly suitable for trades vehicles, service vehicles, mobile workshops, and vans that regularly come into contact with hazardous substances.
Installation is straightforward: a hole punch creates a clean opening without chips, or alternatively a hole saw can be used. Thanks to its flexible design, the Flexy roof vent fits easily between the roof beads or roof cross members of many common models such as the VW Crafter, Mercedes Sprinter, VW T6, Fiat Ducato, and numerous other van classes. No special adapter is required—only existing special installations should be checked.

Why a roof vent is essential in a van
Warm air and vapors always rise to the top of the cargo area. Without roof ventilation, this layer of air remains trapped, causing heat, odors, and moisture to build up. The Flexy roof vent specifically removes this warm air, ensuring a more stable interior climate—even during long journeys or significant temperature fluctuations.
- Prevents overheating in direct sunlight
- Reduces moisture when transporting equipment, tools, and goods
- Minimizes odors in closed transporter bodies
- Ideal for industries with changing or damp loads
- Complements floor or side wall ventilators for optimal circulation
Comparison: Flexy roof ventilator vs. other roof and ventilation systems
Compared to other fan models, the Flexy roof fan offers a number of special advantages that make it particularly attractive for modern transporters.
-
Flexy roof ventilator: extremely flat, chemical-resistant, fits between roof corrugations, no registration required.
-
Conventional roof ventilators: usually taller, more visible, less suitable for low driveways.
-
Wind-driven ventilators: excellent extraction with airflow, but with a significantly higher structure.
-
Floor fans: extract gases and moisture from below, but do not replace ventilation in the roof area.
With its flat design and chemical resistance, the Flexy roof vent offers a balance of functionality, safety, and versatility.
Features of the roof ventilator
- Discreet, neutral color (anthracite)
- Quick, clean installation with hole punch or hole saw
- Very low installation height
- ABS plastic: robust & chemically resistant
- No registration required – ideal for vehicles under 2 m in height
Legal notice
Roof vents with an installation height of more than 50 mm must be registered for vehicles under 2 m in height. Thanks to its particularly flat design, the Flexy roof vent does not require registration and can therefore be easily retrofitted.
FAQs about the Flexy roof vent
Which vehicles is the Flexy roof vent suitable for?
The Flexy roof vent fits between the roof beads of many van models such as the VW T6/T5, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Opel Movano, and other vehicles with a similar roof structure.
Is the roof vent suitable for chemically contaminated environments?
Yes. The ABS plastic used is resistant to aqueous acids, alkalis, oils, and other chemical influences. This makes the vent ideal for trade and service vehicles.
How is the opening in the vehicle roof created?
The cleanest way to make the cutout is with a hole punch, as this does not produce any chips. Alternatively, a hole saw can be used, provided that the edges are thoroughly smoothed afterwards.
Is an adapter required for installation?
No. The Flexy roof fan is installed directly without any special adapters. Only existing roof structures or cable ducts need to be taken into account in advance.
Does the Flexy roof vent need to be registered?
No. Due to its particularly low height, the Flexy roof vent does not need to be registered, even in vehicles with a total height of less than 2 m.
