Vent Covers & Air Returns

Give your home an elevated feel with custom matched vent covers and air returns. All vent covers are cut from provided flooring on a CNC router then sanded, filled, and touched up with a custom, in-house stain match.

Optional: Add sliding dampers to your vents to allow for air flow adjustments.

Material that is 7” or wider will allow for a one-piece vent frame. Material that is less than 7” wide will require a jointed vent frame.

Typical vent sizes: 3” x 10”, 4” x 10”, and 4” x 12”. Custom sizes are available upon request.

Ordering Considerations

Duct sizes can vary from room to room in any house; we recommend checking and measuring ALL of your subfloor duct hole sizes before ordering!

Hardwood Flush Vent Covers:
Some hardwood flooring must be reinforced by gluing additional plywood to the bottom and is subject to an upcharge. Hardwood material that requires this typically has deeper relief grooves in the core. In rare cases, some hardwood flooring has nails and/or metal embedded in the core. This material is subject to a minimum surcharge plus the cost of each additional router bit that is consumed while manufacturing the order.

Vinyl & Laminate Drop-In Vent Covers:
Drop-in style vent covers differ from Overlap Frame vent covers in that they do not include any sort of frame; they simply drop-in and “self-rim” around the outside of the HVAC floor duct (no professional installation is required for drop-in vent covers). Drop-in vent covers can be manufactured from almost any type of vinyl and laminate plank flooring, including vinyl as thin as 2mm or 2.5mm glue-down PVC products. All drop-in vents are manufactured with the vinyl or laminate plank flooring reinforced with high-strength plywood on the underside.

Vinyl Overlap Frame (Frame + Grille Insert) Vent Covers:
Overlap Frame vent covers are a more premium option that includes a two-piece assembly of the: a) vent frame, which is glued down directly to the subfloor, and b) vent grille insert, which drops into the vent frame after installation (professional installation of Overlap Frame vent covers is required). Overlap Frame vents can be manufactured from almost any type of vinyl and laminate plank flooring, including vinyl as thin as 2mm or 2.5mm glue-down PVC products. All Overlap Frame vents are manufactured with the vinyl or laminate plank flooring reinforced with high-strength plywood on the underside.
