Worth visiting: for fans of colonial decor and colonial vent covers.

It is curious why so many floor register duct openings are oddball sizes. Certainly the builder must have known there are certain standard vent cover sizes. Well, for whatever reason there seem to be many unusual dimensions out there. Do you have that situation? If so, give us a call. We are knowledgeable and experienced in making custom units for all sorts of conditions.

Wood registers range from standard Rickenbacker style to historic preservation ready eggcrate style to single-block-of-wood heat vents with recessed thumbwheels. From the tasteful mission style metal register to more ornate Victorian style brass vents these registers and wood, black, nickel, copper and brass vents are well worth viewing. We have some great closeup pictures of a metal register and wood vent, that will probably answer any question you might have about design and function. We also have a wide variety of custom cold air return grilles. These are available with integrated filter and grilles assemblies. Of course, if you don't need that function they are available plain as well.

Check back, as we are just about to introduce a line of baseboard registers in thick and sturdy powder coated steel which come complete with airflow regulator. They will be available in a wide variety of sizes. If you currently have baseboard registers you probably know how difficult it is to locate something aesthetically pleasing. Plus, we just introduced vintage reproduction design baseboard registers, which have been unavailable for over 50 years. You can see those in the Romantic Revival collection. 

Metal vents in brass are made made of very thick plated steel with two millimeter thick faceplates, or solid brass three millimeters thick. These are very sturdy and they can take the heat!

Wood decorative floor registers in standard woods include in red oak, white oak, ash, maple, birch, hickory, southern yellow pine, white pine, or birch. In addition we offer vents in exotic woods such as walnut, cherry, genuine mahogany, quartersawn red or white oak, red birch, bamboo, and teak at a reasonable additional charge.

Air vents can also be custom made. Typically this necessary for cold air returns. We feature the classic "egg crate" style cold air return that wood vents from 100 years ago often featured. We often find people that have had their contractor accidentally cut odd sized holes in their floor. Don't panic! It may be a predicament, but we can certainly fix the problem with custom size wood vents.

You might very well expect quality units such as these to be very expensive, but we think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the affordability, especially given the high style they exhibit.  Click on the link and take a look at what we have. You'll be glad you did!

When you want to obtain heating grilles, irregardless of whether they are metal if they are wood, it is very important to measure the size of the duct opening more than once. Measurements refer to the duct opening size. For example, if you get a 4 by 10 vent that means that the duct opening is 4 by 10 approximately, although the overall dimensions will be somewhat larger, probably they will be closer to five and one quarter by eleven and one quarter inches. When looking at registers, you might also want to check into cold air returns.

Most heat vents are designed to go into a floor location, in which case it will be held in place via gravity. If you are planning to mount in a wall or ceiling then in the case of a wood vent you will need to drill through the face of the unit and attached it with screws. Six inch wide units come with color matched screws for wall and ceiling mounting, but four inch wide do not.
