i have the ubiquitous floor registers that we've all had it our house at some point. the ones that either come in brown or white. I was thinking about flush mounting. looking at the products out there, they are much easier to install before flooring is in place.
I also had worries about the strength of these things. once you cut the air slots, these are pretty small pieces of wood.
they need to be 1/2 inch think with my flooring. had the idea of laminating an aluminum sheet in between some 1/8 ply sheets, then do a nice thick veneer for the show face.
is this crazy? anybody ever done wooden ones that held up well?
or maybe just veneered plywood would be strong enough.
