How to measure & size chart
Measure the width and length of the duct opening. Use those measurements to select the duct size, not the outside dimensions of the old vent cover.
This surface-mount style has a lip that rests on top of the surrounding floor. Check the clearance around your opening before ordering.

Need Help Matching Your Flooring?
Wood species, grain, and site-applied finish can affect the final appearance. If you are matching an existing floor or placing a larger order, contact us before ordering and we can help confirm the best species and vent style for your project.
Installation & finishing
What’s included
Each vent is a surface-mount register with a rim that overlaps the opening and rests on the surrounding floor. No separate flush-mount frame is needed.
Choose With airflow control to include an attached steel damper, operated by a thumbwheel recessed into the vent face. Choose No damper for a vent without that assembly. Available options depend on the duct size.
Fit & installation
Remove the existing register and check the duct opening. The new vent drops into that opening, with its rim resting on the floor. Check the outside cover dimensions for space near walls, baseboards, and other obstructions.
Floor thickness: Listed pricing is for 3/4″ floors. We can also make vents for 5/8″ floors at no additional charge. Contact Pro Hardwood before ordering to arrange 5/8″.
Check below the opening: A damper extends into the duct and needs room to operate. If space is limited, or an elbow or obstruction is close to the opening, call us to confirm clearance before ordering.
Staining & finishing
Vents arrive sanded and unfinished. Remove the attached damper, if selected, before applying stain or finish. Coat all wood surfaces, including underneath and between the slots, and allow them to dry fully before reassembly.
Choose a compatible finish: All American Wood Register recommends oil-based products and advises against water-based stains, sealers, and finishes. Do not wet the wood during preparation or finishing.
Production & shipping
Our vents are made to order and typically ship within 3 business days.
Shipping transit is additional. Ground and express shipping options and costs are shown at checkout. Shipping and transit estimates are not guaranteed arrival dates.

Returns & size exchanges
Vents are returnable. For an incorrect size ordered or a change of mind, you typically pay return shipping and a 20% restocking fee.
The restocking fee may be waived when you exchange your vents for another size. Contact us before returning anything to discuss your exchange and confirm whether the fee can be waived.
If your vents arrive damaged, defective, or different from what you ordered, contact us so we can help resolve the issue. The change-of-mind terms above do not describe those situations.
