1. Alternative Places
Instead of using it only on the toe kick in your kitchen, you should consider using it for the other parts of the house as well. The size should fit well on more exposed areas considering that the toe kick position is the trickiest so far for being so small and narrow.
2. Get the Complete Kit
While the faceplate is available separately, you can actually find one with the whole venting kit as well. It helps you to simplify things especially when you are not an expert in this and in installing it. It prevents you from getting the wrong fit and size.
3. Using It on Other Places
Due to the standard size of the faceplate, it is highly possible to use it on other places as well even though it is most common to use it on the toe kick. The fact is people use it almost anywhere as they need to.
4. Get It Styled
Instead of using the factory look that doesn’t show any appeal when it comes to interior decoration, it is highly preferable to use one with style. It is available on many materials that often affect the finish color, many designs from classic to modern, and many paint colors too.
The Don’ts
In order to use it in the ultimate way, it is highly recommended for users to avoid several things. If you want to use it, pay attention on these things that you should avoid every time.
1. Buying without Measuring
Even though most vent faceplate comes in several standard sizes, it doesn’t always match the space. You need to measure your toe kick space, if it fits the standard size or not, if you need alteration or not. Get the measurement first before heading to the store.
2. Installing without Planning
This vent is meant to support your air circulation system. Many times, it requires careful planning and calculation. Since you are using this vent for one of the tunnel, you need to make sure you have all other details too and if they will match your faceplate vent.
3. Directly Choose the Cheap One
It is always a pleasure to save some more from your budget but we often need to spend more to buy quality. Considering the crucial role of this item, it is highly recommended for you to seek for quality first rather than price. Not all the good ones are expensive.
4. Never Consult to Expert
This is maybe a simple thing but we often need experts’ opinion and guide on this. They may have insight on what size is best to our situation and what other parts that we may need to make it fully functional.
In short, like in any other house detail, we have more than enough options for it yet we have things that need our attention. Choose well and you’ll enjoy the function.
