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?

We also have two floor outlets. Unfortunately, they are not from Pluggit, because the floor outlets look fantastic (and unfortunately also cost a lot) and don’t fit our setup.
So, appearance: this can be improved.
Functionality: no limitations.
Maintenance: better than ceiling openings.
And NO. I would never put yogurt containers into walls or ceilings. There are such great solutions available, there’s no need to settle for that!
