The vents promote ventilation.
Grid is a concept with multiple uses. It may be the framework that partially covers an opening , enabling the flow of certain things but blocking the circulation of others.
In drains , grates are usually installed that allow water to pass through and filter waste and debris. The function of the grate, therefore, is to provide protection to the drainage system, preventing it from becoming clogged.
When used to drain water from bathtubs and open spaces where rain may fall or there are plants that need to be watered frequently, the floor should ideally have a slight slope pointing towards the location of the grate , so that Water naturally flows in that direction due to the force of gravity . If the construction does not provide for this detail, then it becomes necessary to take precautions to prevent the liquid from passing to other rooms, such as using a dryer or a mop.
Ventilation grilles
Ventilation grilles are essential in any home. When the doors and windows are closed, only the grille allows air to pass through. In this way, the grille promotes ventilation and air exchange between the inside of the house and the outside.
Due to this characteristic, it is mandatory to have a certain number of ventilation grilles in the home according to the presence of water heaters, stoves, etc., since they function as a safety mechanism against an eventual loss of gas .
Its importance
Although it is mandatory, not all houses are prepared for proper ventilation . As well as other rules that are ignored, such as the prohibition of smoking in closed spaces or the obligation to have cars inspected by officially authorized personnel every certain amount of time, it is common in many cities that some buildings do not have the necessary measures. for adequate ventilation, regardless of the social status they aim for .
The most obvious use that a ventilation grill seems to have in a home is the escape of gases and the renewal of air . When colonies of fungi and mold form on the walls, ceilings and inside of closets, the first consequence is the bad smell that the house takes on and, consequently, all the objects in it, such as clothes. No one likes to transfer that stench to their social groups, but the real danger is not looking bad in front of others, but the disorders (sometimes fatal) that this can cause in the respiratory system.
There are grates that are placed over the fire to cook food on them.
Other grilles
A grate is also the structure that is placed over the fire or other heat source to cook food. It may be the frame found in the area of the burners (in some places called stoves), on which the pot, the frying pan and the rest of the kitchen utensils must be placed.
With various techniques , on the other hand, it is possible to build grids with different parts of plants to create a seat or a backrest. A wicker rack , for example, can be used to make a chair or a table.
In the seats of some means of transport , racks are also installed so that travelers can store objects during the journey. These grilles are common on trains and buses.
A cut of potatoes
Potatoes or rack potatoes (also known as gaufrette ) have this name precisely because they must be cut so that they acquire the appearance of a rack before being cooked.
For the cut, which stands out in part for being very fine, you can use a utensil made specifically for slicing foods such as carrots and potatoes known as a mandolin or perform the entire procedure manually. In the first case, a particular accessory becomes necessary, capable of creating the characteristic undulation of this dish.
