Diffusers vs. Registers vs. Grilles
There are all kinds of vents to consider, and often the most misunderstood aspect of these HVAC components is what the difference is between each of these three types of vent covers. Here are some short answers, followed by long ones:
- Air diffusers are delivery points for conditioned air, typically installed in ceilings. The main thing to remember with diffusers is that unlike registers, you cannot open and close them. Diffusers are always open.
- AC floor registers differ from diffusers in that they can be opened or closed. We have registers for floor installation, as well as wall and ceiling.
- Air conditioning grilles, as the name suggests, is the vent cover where air is sucked back into the system.
- Air louvers admit light and air, but they shut out rain and direct light. You typically see them installed in the walls of an attic.
Air Grilles
A grille is an opening of several slits side by side in a wall or metal sheet or other barrier, usually to let air or water enter and/or leave but keep larger objects out like a filter. More commonly, grilles are used as return or exhaust air inlets. Our vent covers include return air grilles, baseboard return air, toe space, linear, floor, and filter.
- Return Air Grilles - Standard features include ½ inch spacing dual angular louvers, 22 and 20 gauge cold roll steel. These grilles can be installed with louvers in up or down position for vision-proof effect. The standard color is white.
- Baseboard Return Air Grilles - Standard features include ½ inch spaced vision-proof dual angular louvers for strength and maximum free area. Margin edges are 7/8 inch projection for baseboard installation.
- Toe Space Grilles - Ideal for return air in the toe space areas between kitchen cabinets, stair risers, built-in vanities, etc.
- Floor Grilles - Steel honeycomb construction that is usually brown in color.
- Filter Grilles - Filter grills can hold from 1 to 4 inches thick standard filter sizes.
Floor and Wall Registers
A register is an air vent cover attached to an air-distributing duct for the purpose of controlling the discharge of air into the space to be heated, cooled, or ventilated.
- Floor Registers - Steel honeycomb construction available in brown.
- Baseboard Registers - Steel construction, fan shaped with ½ inch spaced louvers.
- Residential Diffusers - An air distribution outlet, usually located in the ceiling and consisting of deflecting vanes discharging supply air in various directions and planes, and arranged to promote mixing of the supplied air with the air already in the room.
- Linear Grilles and Diffusers - Used for sidewall, ceiling or sill application. Standard features include all extruded aluminum construction with core blades that run parallel to longest dimension. These units are reinforced with pressure lock honeycomb construction to withstand heavy foot traffic, available in 1/3 inch(pencil-proof) and 0.5 inch spacing, 0 or 20-degree deflection on both spacing options and available in lengths of 144 inches in one piece with a Satin Anodized Finish.
