Can a custom vent follow a herringbone pattern?

Yes — this is one of the details we enjoy most. The vent is built so the herringbone or hardwood pattern carries across the opening rather than stopping at it.

Custom Vents

Designed to disappear into the floor. Crafted to complete the room.

A standard vent interrupts a beautiful floor. A seamless custom floor vent continues it — matched to the grain, the direction and the finish so the eye passes straight over it.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

The visible face is made from the same flooring as the surrounding floor and aligned to its grain and direction, then set flush. Instead of a metal grille breaking up the floor, the pattern reads as continuous.
