Not sure if anyone has ever brought this up, but I'm curious to where I could get replacement dust screen for old GE vent fans.. The black screen the covers the top and bottom GE vent holes, I've had luck removing and hot gluing back, but there are times where the screen material is either lost or starts to rot.. The material I'm talking about is used on most imported GE vent ceiling fans made in the late 1970s into the early 80s.. I don't believe modern fans use it anymore... I could use some if anyone knows a source or even the name of the material... Perhaps maybe a local fabric shop I could find some stuff..

A lot of companies seem to use different types of dust screens on fans. |

I'm pretty sure there are still a number of fans that use it.. I'd be surprised if you can find something exact, but maybe something comparable at some type of custom fabric shop..

I'm sure if you got the martial you could make your own... I'd go with the thick netting like they used on 90s GEV fans with visible holes so it's not as easily torn if your screwdriver accidentally slips...

I'm not looking for stuff that has visible holes.. Stuff like this:   |

Ooh, yeah. I could use some of that material on some Casablancas I'd like to restore.

I just used black material from the craft store, cut it to fit the faceplate and hot glued it into place with varying amounts of luck.

I just replaced some on a Delta II I have. It originally had a foam like material but this fan was really dirty and the screening was rotted and just nasty. Funnily enough I used the weed blocker material that you put in flower beds in the yard. It wasn't an exact match to the Casablanca material, but looked more like in those photos above. I just cut it sort of rounded to fit the face plates and then used a hot glue gun. Some of it I had to splice some pieces in. Just get the splices in between the holes. It doesn't have to fit perfectly as you'll never see it once it's back together as long as the holes are all covered up. Or maybe you could draw a sort of template on paper.
For the more foamy material, I think the thin foam cut-to-fit window A/C filter sheets should work. I think that's what Casablanca and Fasco used a similar material.
As for the stiffer white netted-like material in some 90s fans, like Halsey etc used, I can't seem to find a match for that.
