How to Choose the Right HVAC Grilles and Louvers for Your Space?
Whether you're a contractor, builder, or a homeowner upgrading your ventilation system, selecting the right HVAC grille or louver is essential for airflow, comfort, and aesthetics. In this guide, we’ll help you understand the differences between grilles, louvers, and registers — and how to choose the best one for your space.
1. Understand Your Airflow Needs
Grilles are typically used for return air, while registers and louvers control airflow direction and volume. For supply vents, choose adjustable registers; for exhaust or passive flow, go with fixed grilles.
2. Know the Installation Location
Wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, and floor-mounted units have different airflow behaviors. Use linear slot diffusers for sleek architectural designs in offices or showrooms, and heavy-duty louvers for outdoor or garage vents.
3. Consider the Material
HVACorner offers powder-coated aluminum, galvanized steel, and plastic options — each with specific benefits depending on durability, look, and moisture resistance.
4. Match the Aesthetic
Choose from modern, minimalistic, or industrial designs. At HVACorner, we offer products in multiple finishes and custom sizes to match your space.
