In With the New… and the Old

Someone building a new house while living in an older house asked to have new vent covers designed that are appropriately sized for modern HVAC ducting, but keep the ornate beauty and charm of the cold air return grates from their current home (I’m sure there’s a sentimental value there, also).

I tried to keep true to the character of the large antique vent when designing the modern sized vent, but there wasn’t enough room for every feature to be copied to the new vent.

      Not at this time. We manufacture other products, and we’re very busy with that, so it’s hard to find time to make custom vent covers for anyone other than employees. I keep getting requests, though, so if that continues, maybe I could talk them into offering custom production. Thanks for visiting!

         Looks like others already making these on the market.
