During the mid 1900’s, heat register and cold air return covers became an afterthought in modern homes. Dull mass-produced registers and air return covers were designed to go unnoticed rather than provide distinctive character to walls and floors. Fortunately, Shop 4 Classics offers contemporary themed heat registers and cold air return covers that bring back the style.
Are you wondering what is the difference between vent covers, registers, and grilles? Below is a brief definition of these terms.
Vent cover is a generic term used to describe the decorative cover on the vent (i.e., duct opening). Registers and grilles are specific types of vent covers.
Registers are vent covers that are typically used on forced air ducts. They have a pre-attached damper or set of louvers to help control airflow.
Grilles are vent covers that are normally used on cold air return ducts. Grilles do not have a pre-attached damper or louvers. However, Shop 4 Classics does offer louver assemblies that can be purchased separately to add airflow control to grilles.
