Looking for a good and inexpensive way to route airflow from a floor vent out the front of a window bench that my late father in law had built us. We got a contractor to quote us, but he only wanted to physically move the floor vent out to in front of the bench. we're not keen on putting another vent hole in our kitchen tiled floor, so going to take a stab at this myself. Amazon sells the this, https://www.amazon.com/Toe-Ductor-Cabinet-Ducting-Kit/dp/B00CMXXL22/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8, which looks like it would work, but haven't checked dimensions yet. Can't find anything like the two vent ends at the big box stores unfortunately.
When I get home tonight I'll add the dimensions of the floor vent hole and the vent hole in the front of the bench; both are rectangle. Also add the distance and height between the floor and the front of the bench. along with photos. just wanted to get the post started.

So i'm thinking i could probably make it happen with some a 90 degree duct boot / register box and a register box with a flange, some aluminium tape, some sheet metal, dryer vent duct (hose) and a vent register. thoughts?
A picture is worth a thousand words, do you have some?
there are plastic diverters available on line. We have floor to ceiling windows in most of our house. If you are handy you could build your own. You will also need a channel to go from the vent to your room
I have floor vent under window, between two unites of cabinets, Bench in front of window just fits space. I placed bottom of box (The kind that frozen food comes in) upside down cut to size. with the front cut off to let air to reach room. works for me. also does not allow heat to warm bottom of bench.

That Amazon kit is prefabricated and VERY expensive. You can prefab your own with the HVAC parts the big box have for way less coin. Take your measurements and photos to the big box store. You can have an associate help you out to configure options.
