Question:

eliminating heat vent - best option?

I have two useless heat vents in my quot;newquot; houseOne is right by the door, so when a guest steps inside, the dirt from their shoes falls down into the ventThe other is in my kitchen, half underneath the kitchen island! We will be ripping out both areas of floor and replacing with tile, and would like to remove these vents altogetherIt doesn't seem right to just tile over these ventsI read somewhere a suggestion to stuff some insulation down the vent before covering it up, I guess with more subfloor plywood and then the tileDoes that seem like the best option we have, or is there another option to removing these vents?Follow-up question: If I remove these two vents, would it be safer to remove a in-take air vent? I have four of them within a 100 foot radius, one which is in another awkward placeThe house is only 1500 sqft.

Answer:

what temperature are we talking about warm like 72 just leave it out
just put it in your back back in a little container and wrap a sweatshirt around it or just use the hot water faucet at school
If it in a bottle just wrap sum foil around it!!Lolz
Just boil the jug and poor it into a bottle(not a plastic one that comes with water in it cause it will melt) and rap a towel around itIt should cool a little but also help make it say pretty warm.
I have had useless vents that served little purpose, so when I relaid the floor I just covered over the vent Same goes for the tiling Just tile over Many times the tile layer forgets and covers the vents with the tiles They are going so fast No insulation is neededBlocked is blockedAir does not heat upThe additional subfloor just makes the tile stronger as it has the subfloor to stick to and in addition to itself to carry weight in case someone put one leg of a chair there Tile is glass.it just breaks under weight.
