If i get anymore irritated, im screwing a piece of sheet metal over the damn thing, but i want it to look good  Thanks |
Seriously, dam the ducts. I've had customers that wanted to eliminate air into a room from the register but didn't want noise or unsightliness. Depending on duct construction or size, plastic lids work great. from coffee can lids to large paint can lids, you can get something to work.
Bear this in mind, if you go closing too many supply registers you could be generating other problems. Whether you know it or not, if a furnace doesn't get a certain amount of air through it, any number of devices or safeguards will become active and apparent failures could occur!
