Low profile and stronger vents for floor installation

The vents work really well and I love having them.

In my case, they are all in the floor and there are some flaws with the design. 

1. It would be nice if there was a low profile version of the vents for floor installation. The edges should taper down to the floor so that they are not a toe stubbing hazard. 

2. The vents bend and warp out of shape when stepped on. This might be slightly improved by providing fixing locations on all four edges but it's also a factor of the thin sheet metal used. Floor vents are usually a lot more rigid and do not warp when stepped on.

    Are all your vents 4xXs?

    Seems like these are not made for floor installation.  If so, they'd be as you suggest - and come in brown.

    The vents are definitely made for floor uses.  Agreed we should offer at least our 4xXs in brown!
