Hardwood Floor Vents and Registers Made From Your Own Floor
A hardwood floor vent from Vents.com is built from a plank of your own floor, so the species, stain and grain match and the vent sits level with the boards. Hardwood vents are priced by quote, one job at a time.
Off-the-shelf wood registers come in a few species and stains, and they rarely match a finished floor. Ours start with a board from the floor you are installing, so the vent reads as part of the floor instead of something set on top of it.
- Made from your own plank
- Flush with the floor
- Steel-backed

What your hardwood needs
At least 4 inches wide
Narrower strips would have to be glued together to make the frame, and that does not hold up over time, so we can't build from them.
At least 5 mm thick
Measured on the plank itself. Most engineered hardwood is well over that. Check the carton or spec sheet.
One spare plank
We build the vent from a piece of your actual floor, so hold a board back when the floor goes in.
Flush, steel-backed, in 9 sizes
The vent drops into the duct opening and sits level with the boards, with no raised lip to trip on or catch a vacuum. Each vent has a steel backer and is tested to 1,200 lbs on a 2-inch puck, so furniture legs and foot traffic are fine.

Questions
How wide and thick does my hardwood need to be?
At least 4 inches wide and at least 5 mm thick, measured on the plank itself. Narrower strips would have to be glued together to make the frame, and that does not hold up, so we can't build from them.
Why is there no price on hardwood vents?
Hardwood vents are made to order and priced by quote. Send your floor details and sizes and we reply by email with a quote.
Do I need to send you a plank?
Yes. We build the vent from a piece of your actual floor, which is how the species, stain and grain end up matching.
When should I order hardwood vents?
Ideally before the floor is installed, so the installer can fit the floor around the vent. See when to order vents before your install.
What size vent do I need?
Measure the duct opening in the floor, not the old register. Hardwood vents come in 2x10, 2x12, 2x14, 4x10, 4x12, 4x14, 6x10, 6x12 and 6x14 inches. Our measuring guide walks through it.
