Vents are available in a variety of styles and materials.
Vents are those metal registers through which heated and cooled air flows into your home. Generally, each room has at least one vent. They can be located in a ceiling, a wall or a floor. Ceiling vents, like wall and floor vents, allow the direction and amount of airflow to be regulated by the user. Vent covers generally come with their own hardware and are easy to install.
Instructions
1. Measure the opening in the ceiling for the vent. Measure the opening itself and not the ductwork inside the opening. Otherwise, the screws will not have anything to bite into.
2. Purchase the vent cover. Many styles and material options are available at hardware and home-improvement stores. Look for a vent cover that allows you to aim or direct the air where you want it to go and also lets you adjust the amount of air that goes through the vent.
3. Place the vent cover over the hole in the ceiling so that it covers the entire opening. Secure the vent cover, using the screws that came with it. There are usually two screw holes, one on each side. The hardware that comes with the vent matches the vent so that it doesn't really show.
