FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is your lead time?
The average lead time is about 6 weeks, though peak demands and fluctuations may affect this some. Once your order is placed, you will receive an email confirmation with a targeted ship date. If anything changes, we will keep you informed. When your order is complete and shipped, you will receive another email with a UPS tracking number. Most shipping times are 5-7 days, though this can vary.
How do I determine the size vent I need?
Please reference our “how to measure” guide here.
What material are your vents made from?
Our decorative vent covers are cut from heavy 11-gauge solid steel and powder coated, which is a thick finish that is resistant to chipping and scratching. The attached louvers/dampers in the back are aluminum.
Does your vent product completely replace my current vent?
Yes, our decorative vent covers fully replace your current vent unit. On our “Place an Order” page, you have the option to also add the attached damper/adjustable louvers in back. Metal mesh screen is used for extra small and extra large sizes where dampers are not available. Please reference our “Specs & Drawings” page to view full specs on our product.
Do you keep any vents in stock?
Because of the large variety of styles and sizes we offer, we do not currently stock vents.
What if I want my vents painted the same color as my walls?
No problem! Please order your vents in white. This will act as a primer and your painter can spray or brush the vents in your wall paint color.
Are your vents made to handle the weight of a floor application?
Vent Crafters believes our 11 gauge steel vents to be the strongest on the market, and has never had any reported problems on floor applications. That being said, substantial weight applied to larger sizes could result in damage. Vent Crafters cannot guarantee against or warranty such conditions.
Do you offer a trade discount?

What is your warranty?
Vent Crafters is proud to offer a limited lifetime warranty. We warrant our products to be free of defects in material and workmanship for life. Warranty is valid only to the original owner and proof of purchase is required. We are not responsible for normal wear and tear or damage from mis-use or improper installation. Our products are intended for wall and ceiling HVAC applications. Any other applications will not be covered. Finishes applied after-market are not covered under warranty.
What is your return policy?
Each one of our vents is custom made to order, therefore returns are not accepted. We recommend carefully reviewing our specs and guides to ensure your product is ordered correctly. We can cancel your order only if we receive the cancellation request prior to commencing fabrication. A refund will then be processed, minus a 10% cancellation fee.
