We removed some walls that had cold-air intakes, so we had to drop them to the floor. We wanted something strong enough that it could handle people walking on it (since they are fairly large) and this fit the bill. I also love the design. The finish is just bizarre, its like black chalk scribbled over sand paper. It is unusable as-is. A can of spray enamel will easily fix the problem though. The louvers were somewhat dysfunctional - a couple were popped out at the end and we had to muscle them back into place. They don't seem to work well, however that's not an issue for us as these will always be open. Three stars because of the design and durability of the face, didn't get the last 2 because of the finish and problems with the louvers.

As soon as you touch the finish, it shows finger marks. It attracts the dirt and you can't rub it away. The dimensions were exactly correct but the screw heads stick out so they had to be cut down to fit the opening so it would be flush. Overall I'd pick something else. Wish they mentioned the lack of a smooth finish. It's installed now so I'll keep it but probably won't buy again. BTW, they asked me to write a review but when I clicked on it, it said I already reviewed this item. But I hadn't yet. Hmmm...

The registers are completely dysfunctional and look great. The purpose of a register with a damper is to STOP the air coming through the register, many of the reviewers for these registers must not know this and only buying for looks. When you close the register you should not feel hot or cold air blasting through it as if it is not closed. When you look at the louvers you can see the large gaps where the fins do not close tightly, THE WHOLE POINT YOU HAVE A DAMPER!! I have worked on 100's of old houses and the old registers these were copied from close right, tight and properly WITHOUT huge gaps as these do. The BLACK finish is a matte rough finish that attracts dirt etc, they are not supposed to be finished this way. I have asked to speak with the general manager of this subsidiary of Ferguson plumbing, but they will not let me make contact, and all I want to do is help them regarding the design flaws in this product AND THEY WILL NOT LET YOU TALK TO ANYONE IN A DECISION MAKING MANAGEMENT POSITION. Very frustrating. BOTTOM LINE, if you want a register that does what it is supposed to do, don't buy this companies registers. Plus they won't let you talk to anyone in charge or is in the charge of purchasing this product from their Chinese supplier. They had a warehouse guy send me a email telling me, yes they are made with a big gap, and that was it! DON'T BUY IT!

Looks great but the powder coat finish doesn't make sense. It's terrible. There's no protective coating so it will attract dirt, show every mark that can't be wiped off because the finish is so "dry." The fins underneath the grate do have a protective coating. I like the way it looks and I need more grates but no one should have to add a protective coating on something brand new. I saw all the great reviews and it's why I got this product. Did anyone else have this issue?

This company is very impressive. They have a great selection of floor registers. We chose the registers made of cast iron. The product is of the best quality. After I purchased four of them, I decided to order three more because they were perfect for our home and very well made! They are heavy duty and easy to install. And the design is very attractive. They were packaged with care and in perfect condition when they arrived. I highly recommend this company. And since we have been doing ongoing work on our 100 year old house, I will definitely check out the other things that they offer!

I am currently replacing all the registers in our home. We love how durable these are and how nicely the accent hardwood floors, tile, and carpeting.

At first opening of the box, was very unhappy with how high up the lever was. Was sure to be a problem for us. Than after closer examination of the register, the lever has a removable rubber tip, that pulls off. Once removed the lever sets down lower where it should be. I saved the rubber tips, but the register can be easily opened and closed without them. Love them, very nice looking and super heavy duty.

Our house is 120 years old and these registers fit in perfectly. They are well made and should last a long time.

We replaced some wooden floor registers with this product. The are lower profile and offer a nice accent to the flooring.
