Furnace Vent Deflector

Metal floor registers often send good warm air straight up toward the curtains instead of out into the sitting room. This sturdy curved shield sits right over the grate to steer air where people gather. Miles Kimball has stocked this household helper for generations because it does an honest job with no tools required.

Built with strong magnets

Heavy magnets hold the base tight against any standard steel register on the floor or along the baseboard. It stays put when someone walks by or bumps it with the vacuum head.

High impact clear plastic

Tough polystyrene plastic takes stray kicks and dropped toys without cracking. The clear body lets the floor or carpet show right through, so the room keeps its quiet look.

Slides to fit registers

The two pieces slide apart to match the width of her floor grate. Push the sides together for a narrow hall register or pull them wide for the living room.

Works year round

Leave it in place through every change of weather. It pushes warm furnace air across the rug, then redirects cool air from the central unit when the house heats up.
