Eggcrate heat registers!

Eggcrate heat registers are a superlative way to greatly enhance the vintage appeal of your older home. Or perhaps you are building a new construction house and desire to recreate the old school appeal often found in bungalows, American foursquares, Prairie school, appropriately named superbungalows, spanish revival, Italianate, shingle style, or any of the many constellations of house styles that have charming appeal. Many times an vintage home will have an eggcrate style cold air return, usually in a bad state of repair after many decades of service. Not only will these specialized floor registers be an appropriate complement, but we can also provide the cold air return in the similar style. Eggcrate registers are particularly appropriate for craftsman bungalow homes which were typically constructed between 1900 and 1925. These often feature oak flooring and grid style patterns very similar to what you see in these registers. However, these also look great in Victorian houses, colonial revival, and 50's retro. Furthermore, even a log cabin or lodge or other rustic design would benefit from the tasteful eggcrate heat registers motif. Curiously, eggcrate style work very well in ultra-contemporary structures as well. It is versatile and classic.
