Floor Duct Vent Cover

If, like me, you live in a house or building with ventilation ducts flush with the floor, you know that small items can fall in and get lost.

My vent outlets seem welded to the floor after 57 years in situ, so stuff that drops in is irretrievable.

Avoid watching your wedding ring go down for the count and keep little fingers out.

For standard size (10" x 4") floor duct vents; vent covers measure 12" x 5.5".

Gray, Black, Khaki, White: 2 for $12.99.

One more thing: don't EVER get your heating/cooling/ventilation ducts cleaned.

I fell for this scam soon after I moved into my then 16-year-old house only to find that I'd dropped a significant chunk of change for a procedure that totally inconvenienced me for a day as I was told to vacate the premises while the duct cleaners took stuff apart and did what they do.

After the cleaning, the noise from the duct system was unbelievably loud and irritating, as all the long settled-into-place duct system joints throughout the house had been disturbed from their years-long slumber and now jiggled and rattled against each other.

It took years for things to get back to normal.

Don't worry about dust and stuff that's accumulated in your uncleaned ducts: by now it's settled into place and isn't going anywhere while doing a great job sealing the connections.
