Wide vent covers

Does Flair offer covers for their vents in sizes other than what’s included with the vent? I have a ceiling installed vent that’s the standard 4x10 size, but when the builders cut the hole they cut it too large, so there’s a gap on either side of the vent. A cover just an inch wider (1/2” on each side) would be perfect. Are there 3rd party options if not?

  Hi Matthew Dotson, Conrad Zagarzazu,

  One of our users created some inserts to solve this issue.  You can take a look and even download the 3-d printer file at the link below

  You reduce your intake volume that way and create some added pressure in your hvac. Safest/ideal solution is Flair with an 8x14 vent. I tried it and yes making a gap cover does work but when the vent closes there is indeed a lot of pressure and it's noisy and possibly not good for your air conditioner. 

  I'm amazed Flair doesn't offer more sizes. This would seem to be a small investment to vastly increase the number of potential customers. Loads of houses have a mix of larger and smaller vents. Those customers are lost.

  Hi Matthew Dotson,  Conrad Zagarzazu
  
  Old thread but thought I might reach out to see if we can assist.
  
  My company Empyrean3D, provides trim kits that support all Flair vent sizes and a couple other booster fans from other brands. We spoke to Flair several times and using a larger kit as described will not adversely affect the HVAC. There is built in blowback protection in the Flair vent.
  You can see our kits here and are happy to work with you on a custom fit if needed.
