Redirect Heated and Cooled Air with Magnetic Vent Sheets
Magnetic vent covers offer an effective solution to stop air passing a closed vent, avoids drafts, and can make a specific room that much more comfortable. Put to use in the summertime with an AC system, and in the wintertime with a heating system.
Relying on a register or vent cover throughout the colder winter season offers an efficient solution to maintaining a property in a warmer state, and in the summer season a more sought-after cooler temperature range is possible. Directing airflow to those areas of a property most lived in often results in a more cost-effective air-system.
Installing an energy saving feature such as this is a simple process – position the magnetized vent sheet directly over an air conditioning vent or furnace heat register in those room not frequented, which will than redirect airflow to those rooms in need of efficient temperature control. In the summer months, position the cover over the ground level or floor registers for cooler airflow, and in the winter months, locate the covers at that ceiling-level vents.
To hide an oversized vent sheet it is often an option to trim the 20 – 30-mil piece of vinyl with a heavy-duty pair of scissors, and than to be wallpapered, textured or painted in a color scheme to match the existing décor.
Miles Kimball, Deflect-O and Thermwell all produce a selection of magnetized vent covers to aid in improving heat and cooling efficiency in a property, as well as offering a powerful magnetic hold.
Appealing features to appear with these vent covers include an ability to seal-off unwanted airflow, cuts to size in moments, fits most wall, floor and ceiling vents, redirects air flow from heat and air conditioning units and comes in a material that is paintable to complement an existing décor.
All in all, a well-make register cover with a resilient magnetized backing is perfect to stop airflow passing through a shut metal vent cover to offer a higher degree of comfort in the most commonly used rooms in a home.
