Cali Hardwood Floor Vents

A flush vent for a Cali floor starts with three details: the collection, the color, and the size of the hole in the floor. Cali's Varietals line is tongue-and-groove engineered hardwood, 1/2 inch thick. Cali has already come through our shop on past vent orders.

Fitting a vent into Cali

Because Cali boards are milled tongue-and-groove, most installers fasten them down instead of floating them. A fastened floor holds the edge of the duct cutout steady, which is exactly what a drop-in flush vent needs.

Since Varietals planks carry no stain, ash looks like ash and hickory looks like hickory. Name the species and color on your quote request.

The 2 mm wear layer on Cali leaves room for future sanding. Worth planning for: if the floor gets refinished, the vent should be part of the conversation, so tell us up front.

Which vent sizes work with Cali hardwood?

We make hardwood floor vents in 2x10, 2x12, 2x14, 4x10, 4x12, 4x14, 6x10, 6x12 and 6x14 inches; returns in 6x20, 6x24, 6x30, 6x36, 8x20, 8x24, 8x30 and 8x36 inches. Measure the opening in the floor to pick yours.

Does it matter whether my Cali floor is click or tongue-and-groove?

Not for the vent sizes. It does help us picture the opening, so mention it in your quote request.

Can you match a Cali floor that went in years ago?

Usually, yes. A leftover board from the original install helps most, because finishes change with age and sunlight.
