Floor Registers

Create a new look in your home quickly and affordably by replacing your floor registers. These reasonably priced pieces of hardware are made from a variety of materials, from cast iron to wood, and in a choice of styles to complement any décor, from Victorian to contemporary. Find them in square, rectangular and circular shapes, and in an array of hard to find sizes to fit your home’s style perfectly.

Once seen as functional hardware, floor registers and vents are now uniquely designed in dozens of configurations. For a traditional look with a hint of character, try a floor register with interlacing scrollwork. These decorative designs fit well with Victorian designs and are available in sturdy solid brass, solid bronze or steel. You can find the floor vents in a range of finishes, with antique brass, bronze patina and oil-rubbed bronze blending well with a traditional décor.

Most contemporary floor registers employ a simple style of straight lines forming a rectangular or grid pattern. Made of heavy-duty cast iron, cast aluminum, steel, solid brass or bronze, these vent covers can withstand everyday use. Choose a finish that highlights the modern style of your home. Chrome, brushed nickel and satin zinc add a bit of zest to any hardware collection.

If you have wood flooring, select floor registers to match or accentuate the hardwood. A great way to tie the whole room together is to use a wooden floor register. These registers come in a variety of shapes and wood types and stains to unify any room. Opt for unfinished wood that you can stain or paint for a customized look. They fit in well with nearly any style of home decor, such as Victorian, Craftsman, Art Deco, or Contemporary.

Installation is easy, as long as you measure correctly. Before selecting a floor register, measure for the correct size. It’s important that you measure the hole for the air duct, not the existing register. You can purchase floor registers with or without louvers, which direct the flow of air. The louver frame, or bottom part of the register, will fit into the opening, while the lip of the register will sit on top of the floor. Whereas a flush-mount register will fit completely into the floor with no lip.

Signature Hardware features an extensive selection of floor registers, including contemporary, traditional and oversized vent covers.
