closing a duct completely – Flair

David S

this may be a dumb question but I want to ask when the Flair Smart Vent is closed completely, can air still get through? I had to put magnet covers on my vents after closing them to block the air from my rooms that get too cold. This solution looks awesome but only if the gate will close completely.

thanks

Hi David,

I would like to talk to you further about your Smart Vents but in a support request. Can you create a ticket by going to www.flair.co/contact ?

There are 2 options for ensuring a greater seal if you are hearing a whistling on your Smart Vents.

  1. Our newer models allow us to adjust the close strength remotely.

  2. We have silicon strips available upon request through a support request by following the above link.

All the best,

Dan T.

They do close the vent 100% but there is some minor air leakage. It's not much at all but I think they let some through on purpose so they can measure the temp, pressure, etc.

Hi MichealB,

Flair attempts to close the Smart Vents 100%.

I have submitted a ticket, but never got an answer as to “how do I adjust closing strength?” I still would like to try the silicone strips as well. The vent in my daughters room is so close to the AC, so when her vent closes it whistles.

Hoops - try removing the vent itself (not just the decorative cover) and turn it 180 degrees. Sometimes just having the air hit a vent's louvers from a different direction is all you need
