Homes should feel like a reflection of your clients’ style with every surface, finish, and detail working together to create a space that feels both beautiful and intentional. Yet for years, residential and commercial vents have stood out as clunky, utilitarian pieces that interrupt the flow of a room. That’s where Fittes steps in. With a vision to turn an everyday necessity into a design feature, Fittes (formerly known as Aria Vents) has reimagined the humble vent into something seamless, modern, and effortlessly elegant, proving that even the smallest details can completely transform the look and feel of Canadian homes.
From Inspiration to Innovation
Founded in September 2016 by a creative father-daughter duo, Paolo and Roberta, Fittes was born from a simple yet insightful observation: while architectural surfaces like floors and walls had seen remarkable design evolution, the mechanical components like vents were still stuck in the past. Determined to change that, they set out to design modular, stylish vents that don’t disrupt the aesthetic flow of a space.
Design Meets Discretion: Aesthetic Integration
At the heart of Fittes’s innovation lies the Aria Vent – a minimalist system designed to disappear into any surface, be it wood, tile, drywall, carpet, or vinyl. Available in customizable trays, the vents offer a clean, almost invisible look that ensures form and function coexist seamlessly.
Product Evolution: Vents Reimagined for Every Surface
Fittes has rethought traditional grille vents across multiple use cases, offering your clients the following vent solutions:
Framed Floor Vent [Lite]: A DIY-friendly choice, ideal for retrofit projects. Made of durable ABS plastic and compatible with tile, hardwood, laminate, carpet, and more, it lets homeowners embed their own surface material in the vent tray for that seamless visual fit.
Flush Floor Vent [Luxe]: Takes minimalism to the next level. Crafted from robust steel, this version integrates into the floor, hiding all but a discrete air channel. It also includes built-in dampers for airflow control and must be installed before flooring.
Flush Wall Vent [Lite]: This recessed vent is suitable for drywall applications and is paintable and HVAC compatible. It blends into the wall for a streamlined appearance, though installation requires mudding and sanding.
Flush Wall Vent [Luxe]: This vent elevates both performance and aesthetics. With integrated dampers and a solid steel frame, it’s built for durability and airflow control. A Luxe+ variant offers dual channels to deliver up to 50% more airflow.
Canadian Craftsmanship & Patented Ingenuity
All Fittes products are proudly made in North America, reflecting a commitment to quality and sustainability in harsher climates. Further, each model features a patented modular design, ensuring that the vents aren’t just beautiful but smart, flexible solutions that adapt to different surfaces and installation styles.
Purposeful Design: Functionality Meets Clean Aesthetics
Fittes vents combine aesthetics, innovation, and functionality. The customizable centre trays allow contractors and homeowners to match finishes (paint, tile, wallpaper, or any existing surface material) for a cohesive look. Meanwhile, the integrated dampers in Luxe models deliver full airflow control, which is a rare feature in vent products. These vents are also durable, easy to clean, and pet/child-friendly, balancing performance with practical living considerations.
Designed for All Skill Levels
Fittes divides its products by user skill level from DIY to pro, so whether you’re a renovation enthusiast or working with a contract installer, there’s a vent for your comfort zone. Framed models make installation accessible, while Flush models offer a designer finish with professional precision.
The Future of Vents is Invisible and Intelligent
Fittes isn’t just selling vents. They’re transforming how we think about mechanical elements in building design. Their unmatched customization, thoughtful engineering, and sleek, minimalist styling are designed to disappear into your space while delivering great airflow and control.
