My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Installing Thermador remote blower with roof mount

10 years ago

My contractors are getting ready to install my Thermador VTR1330E remote blower to go with my 48 inch island range hood. They think the unit doesn't look that weather proof to be mounted on roof uncovered. Has anyone had any experience installing this unit and if so, does it work well mounted uncovered on the roof? They seem to think it should be covered with some kind of cap to make it more weather proof.
