Yes, our linear slot diffusers can absolutely be used as a retrofit—as long as the existing cutout in your ceiling or wall matches (or is slightly smaller than) the neck size of the diffuser.
A few key points for retrofit installs:
-
✅ They fit directly into drywall—the xxxx -in design is made to mount securely into the surface without needing framing or additional brackets.
-
✅ The face depth is only 1/8", so it gives a clean, low-profile look after installation.
-
🔧 If you’re replacing a traditional vent with a different shape (like a 25"x20"), you may need to patch or modify the opening to match one of our available sizes (we do not offer custom sizing).
Let me know the rough opening you have, and I’ll help you find the closest size we carry that could work for your retrofit.
