Register Style: Louvers diffuse the air in 2 directions

Grate Style: Square grid pattern is the strongest most loade bearing design of all, while maximizing air flow

Shaker Style: Linear slats are straight up without any angle, parallel to the short dimension

Linear Style: Linear slats are straight up without any angle, parallel with the long dimension

All sizes are ordered by duct opening size, per industry  standards. The back of your vent will nest into the duct opening for more load bearing support, this measurement also allows us to understand the air flow size.

All vents are purchased unfinished so you can match to your location. If you need us to add staining, we use any of the Minwax Oil Based Stains. Our staining is applied with a 4 way spray getting into all those little crevices.

Most of our customers are professionals and do not required dampers. We do carry metal dampers if you prefer to add them. Dampers must be requested before construction of the vents, as the vents have to be constructed differently.
