I recently bought a house that is 60 years old, and when I pulled the carpet back in the dining room I discovered a hole from the original heat register (I believe that is the proper terminology). While the old owners closed the hole, they did it uglier that all get out. I know I could just have the section of floor replaced repaired but I thought it would be interesting to get a replacement grill and keep the original look. What I need now is to know if anyone still offers grills in large sizes. All I can find now is small (4x8,4x10,etc.) sizes. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you Claypa, it looks like I might be able to find what I am after on that site. I'll have to look around a little more but I saw a few promising things already.
I'm looking for the same thing. When I do a search on Renovator's Supply, it doesn't take me to a catalog. Is there one online and what would the web address be?
Yes it does! Thanks! Here's hoping they have one that fits my hole in the floor. I've looked at a lot of sites and nobody has them large enough, or they're too large. Mine is probably about 11" by 14".
I'm finding that I am out of luck it seems. The hole in my floor is roughly 14.5 x 32, and no one seem to make grilles this size. Anybody got any ideas?
I saw some bigger grilles at an Antique place. I guess try there, and also see if there are any salvage type places around you. I found one up in Chicago, but I don't see that they have grilles or registers, which is what I need. They do however, have doors. And I need a door. Another option would be to find a welding shop and see if they could fabricate one for you.
