7 Uses for Directional Louvers

Vents can be in some odd places: on the ceiling, in the wall up high, next to walls on the floor, and under windows. None of these seem particularly ideal if you want to have maximum efficiency in your heating and cooling circulation.

That’s where directional louvers come in. Directional louvers are a piece you can add to the back side of your register that allows you to direct the airflow. So if that vent opening is under a table, you can direct airflow out into the room instead of losing all that air to the underside of the table.

*Please note that directional louvers are only available in laser-cut steel and laser-cut aluminum grilles. They cannot be retrofitted to existing grilles but with new grille orders only.
