Heating vent on suspended ceiling
The ceiling of my basement is now drywall. It's been intentionally broken up
for many times during the 40 years, like running cables and phone lines. I'm going to change it dropped ceiling. But a headache is how to handle the heating vents. The rectangle shape metal vents are right at the joists (vertical position). The new suspended ceiling will be a few inches of lower. My thought is to bring the vent lower by adding an extension, and make a rectangle hole on ceiling tile, and place a cover. Hopefully, I can find the same shape of metal duct as the extension in HomeDepot. Any advice appreciated. John |

Forget about Home Depot or any other Home Improvement store for the sheet metal fittings that you will need. Find a fabricator in your area to make the pieces. Look in the phone book for sheet metal fabricators, metal fabricators, or air conditioning installers. Some bigger air conditioning installers have their own fabrication shop. The prices shouldn't be outrageous and you will get exactly what you need. I have found that it is best to have a simple drawing with dimensions to give to the fabricator. |
