ᐅ Floor vents (fresh air supply) located under sofas and desks?

Hello,
we currently need to decide whether to have floor outlets or wall outlets for our mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery.
According to our installer, it doesn’t matter if a piece of furniture (sofa, desk, etc.) is positioned over the outlet, as long as there is some clearance underneath, for example by the legs. So the sofa just shouldn’t completely cover the outlet.
Is this really the case? Would a sofa approximately 10cm (4 inches) above the floor, positioned over the outlet, not affect the airflow?

They are all flush with the floor.So yours from #24 protrudes 5mm (0.2 inches) above the parquet with "sharp" edges, right?
And the version in #26 is also not flush with the floor.

As mentioned before, the grid on top can be designed in any way.
You can either choose a ready-made one from the supplier’s range or have one custom-made from wood, plastic, marble, aluminum, or a combination of materials.
This way, it can be recessed into the floor, slightly protrude, or be integrated into the floor covering in any other way.

Overall, the Torx/Helios grilles allow for an adjustment range of approximately +/- 3cm (1.2 inches) in height, and the final height can be freely chosen. This is similar with other manufacturers as well. Since, in most cases, the finished surface of the floor covering deviates by 1, 2, or 3 mm (0.04, 0.08, or 0.12 inches) from the plan anyway.
Here are some more examples:

After all, heat recovery ventilation provides warm air, and warm air rises.Supply air preheated by heat recovery can (in an ideal theoretical case) only be as warm as the exhaust air. In reality, the supply air is always slightly cooler than the exhaust air. Nevertheless, floor diffusers do work.Similar topics
