hardwood floors and heater vents

That looks great. I had no idea you could get wooden grates. This gives me ideas! Thanks for posting.

That looks good, I like it. I may make a couple for our floors where I don’t like looks of the “Tailor mades”.

I just noticed you started here today, welcome aboard :-)

Nice Lookin vent covers

Never thought of that…. Hmmm….. good work! :)

This is a nice looking vent cover. You probably will never miss the shutters as they are either left open or closed.

I never thought of flush-mounted vents until you mentioned it. I’m doing a floor soon, and that sounds like a good idea. I did a quick search and found this if someone else wants and idea on them:

Thank you for the picture, I have doing this exactly on my to do list. Nice to see how they will turn out. Nice work!

Thanks for the comments. I could (and may eventually) retrofit for flush mounts, but it is much easier to do while you are laying the floor than it will be to retrofit.

The clear maple hardwood floors look best in my opinion. Clean, elegant, and very durable. Very nice !!!
