Details
These 16x18 inch single deflection air grilles with vertical blades deliver precise horizontal airflow control, perfect for directing air left or right in ceiling or high sidewall installations. Their vertical blade design efficiently channels conditioned air across walls or ceilings—ideal for preventing stagnant zones in corridors, lobbies, or partitioned spaces. The aerodynamically shaped blades maximize airflow while reducing turbulence, ensuring quiet operation even at higher velocities.
A budget-friendly alternative to dual-adjustment grilles, these single deflection units provide focused airflow management where side-to-side control matters most. Each vertical blade can be individually adjusted, letting contractors customize air spread for room layouts or seasonal needs. Designed for quick installation, they work with standard duct connections, cutting labor time on both new builds and retrofits. From hotels to healthcare facilities, these vertical blade grilles offer architects and HVAC teams a no-fuss solution for balanced, draft-free air distribution.
- Standard 16x18" Duct Ready: This air register is manufactured to align with common 16x18” duct openings, promoting a smooth installation process. We advise checking our sizing guide to confirm your specific requirements.
- Vertical Blade Design: The front-mounted vertical blades allow you to manage horizontal airflow direction, making it easy to channel air toward or away from specific areas for better comfort distribution.
- Protect Your Ceiling's Appearance: By eliminating air leakage with a foam seal, this air grille stops the dust infiltration that is the primary cause of unsightly HVAC-related ceiling stains.
- Focused Airflow Delivery: The single deflection design provides a straightforward and effective way to guide conditioned air, helping to prevent drafts and maintain consistent room temperatures.
- Streamlined Architectural Look: Achieve a neat, professional finish with a grille face that has no visible screws. The mounting points are discreetly located on the sides to maintain a clean and modern appearance.
- Robust Aluminum Build: Constructed from 6063-T5 architectural aluminum, this vent cover offers a solid build that performs reliably over time under normal system pressures.
- Enduring Matte White Finish: Finished with a tough powder coat, this grille resists scuffs, fading, and moisture, ensuring the crisp white look endures through years of use.
- Installer-Friendly Mounting: Supplied without fasteners, this design allows HVAC technicians the freedom to select the ideal screws for their specific drywall, wood, or plaster application.
- Customizable HVAC Integration: For ideal performance, combine with a custom plenum box (sold separately) designed for your specific needs.

Elevate Your Home: The Case for Commercial-Grade Vent Covers
The idea that commercial-grade HVAC components are excessive for a home is a misconception. For discerning homeowners and builders, they represent a smart upgrade in comfort, aesthetics, and durability. Like choosing premium appliances or fixtures, opting for commercial-grade grilles and diffusers ensures whisper-quiet operation (thanks to verified NC ratings), optimal energy efficiency, and robust construction that will last a long time.
Through advanced computer modeling, we engineer our linear bar grilles and vent covers for perfect air distribution, making them an ideal choice for high-end residential projects where quality is non-negotiable.
