Take a look at your floor, walls and ceiling. Likely you have some sort of hideous, metal vent cover dropped in. They do serve their purpose by either supplying or exchanging heating and cooling throughout your house, however they are very unattractive and can be a huge eyesore in most spaces.
The construction and design industry has had so many advancements over time expect for in one area - HVAC, that is until a father/daughter duo from Toronto came up with these (dare I say) stunning vent covers. In 2016, Aria Vent was developed by Paolo and Roberta who share a passion for innovative, thoughtful design - and thank god they did! After over 100 failed designs, a short-lived air vent/humidifier idea and aluminum foil prototypes, Aria Vent was born.
These patented products are the first and only modular air register system that can be adapted to any surface. The good thing is Paolo and Roberta thought of everything in order for their vents to be able to be used in any stage of design. Starting with the Aria Vent OG and lets not forget they are completely manufactured in Canada!
Lets take a look at the differences between the seven models they have created.
Aria Vent OG
The original design is a drop in system that is perfect for any DIYer. They are metal construction and available in three colours (black, white and grey). Aria vent OG are a perfect solution to spruce up any space, just insert and extra piece of your flooring material inside the vent and your are good to go!
Applications:
Floor
Wall
Ceiling
Aria Lite
The Aria Lite vents are for the price-conscious project. Instead of metal they are made in high-grade ABS plastic, which can withstand heavy foot traffic and is good for commercial applications. Also available in matte black, white and grey this style can be purchased at Home Depot.
Applications:
Floor
Wall
Ceiling
Aria Flushmount Pro
My favourite Aria Vent for obvious reasons. Once installed, this ultra minimal design only has a single gap air channel. This style must be installed prior for the floor finish as it is has a flush and seamless transition. The flushmount pro is only available in matte black but is so sleek it just looks like a simple shadow line.
Applications:
Floor
Wall
Ceiling
Aria Flushmount Pro Lite
Another alternative for the price-conscious project. This style also must be installed prior for the floor finish as it is has a flush and seamless transition. Made in a combination of ABS plastic (for body and tray piece) and solid steel (for base piece).
Applications:
Floor
Wall
Ceiling
Drywall Pro - Air Register
Designed specifically for wall and ceiling SUPPLY air registers on drywall surfaces. The drywall pro should be installed by a professional and is a seamless finish that can be painted or wallpapered to match the surface. Truly a game changer when installed as it virtually disappears.
Applications:
Wall
Ceiling
Drywall Pro - Air Return
Designed specifically for wall and ceiling RETURN air registers on drywall surfaces. The drywall pro should be installed by a professional and is a seamless finish that can be painted or wallpapered to match the surface. Truly a game changer when installed as it virtually disappears.
Applications:
Wall
Ceiling
Drywall Pro X (Exhaust Fan)
Everyone knows how ugly, loud and dirty typical bathroom exhaust fans are, well not with the Aria Drywall Pro X. This model has a dual design - it can be used as an exhaust fan cover or as a cold air return and it seamlessly feathers into drywall to disappear. Paired with the Panasonic Whisper exhaust, your bathroom will never look sleeker!
Applications:
Wall
Ceiling
Take a look at how the sleek design is integrated into the ceiling.
There you have it! The complete line of Aria Vents. Next time you are doing a reno, or if you have extra flooring laying around - the integration of these vents are a must!
