5 Vent Covers You Should Replace With These Works of Art

At  Beaux-Arts Classic Products, we understand that all the vent covers throughout your home serve very important functions, particularly for heating and cooling systems.  The vent covers and grilles both clean the air in your home, but also help direct the air flow and distribution within your home.

Many homes also use radiator heat in the winter, and others have crawl space vents that require ventilation.  Bathrooms need exhaust fans to help control moisture.  Rooms or closets with electronic equipment or machinery need to be ventilated to remove excess heat.

Most homes in the US still have builders grade “white louvered grilles” over their heating and air conditioning ducts, plain radiators without cabinets, cheap foundation vents, and tired exhaust fan grilles.

Generic, industrial-looking vent covers for your supply grilles, air return grilles, filter grilles, exhaust air vents, Radiator Cover grilles, foundation vents, can be replaced with extraordinary vent covers to reflect and compliment the style of your home. 

What kinds of vent covers can you replace?

Here are four common types of heating, cooling and other vent covers that every owner should consider replacing with a bit of flair and class with our selection of high-quality return air grille options and HVAC vent covers.

1) Return Air Grille Vent Covers

A return air grille covers the area where air is pulled from individual rooms into a central heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system. These vents are critical to the proper operation of your HVAC system. And since the grilles are typically in highly visible areas, like ceilings and walls, they can make or break your décor.

Replacing those vent covers with a decorative air return grille from Beaux-Arts Classic Products will add beauty to your home and complement the historic or architectural details that make your living space extraordinary.

There are two sizes; the regular return and the Filter Grille Return.

2) Supply Vent Covers

Supply vents allow the flow of warm or cool air into rooms from the HVAC system (as opposed to the return vents, which are there to pull in the air). Typically present on walls, floors or ceilings, these vents are also at the forefront of a guest’s attention.

Like return air grilles, these vent covers are usually the conventional louvered design, which has numerous flaws in addition to being an eyesore!

Thankfully, you can make those vents an attractive accent in your home with our gorgeous decorative grilles, masterfully reproduced from 19th century designs and other historic masterpieces.

3) Exterior Vent Covers & Registers

The foundation is part of the core of your structure, and there may or may not be vents and registers along the sides of yours, depending on the style of the dwelling. If crawl spaces are present, there will likely be one or more of these covers, which allow air flow into the space to reduce the risk of moisture and mold.

Once again, conventional crawl space vent covers and foundation vent covers tend to be extremely plain. And if they’re visible from the front of your home, then they are absolutely hurting your home’s curb appeal.

Our decorative foundation vent covers provide a beautiful alternative, adding beauty and class to your exterior and eliminating those unsightly eyesores.

4) Vents for Radiator Covers

If you have a radiator in the home, perhaps you’ve covered it with a radiator box to hide the look of the radiator and gain more functional space on top. However, for the heat to be properly released into the room, the box still needs a vent – and traditionally, most radiator vent covers are as boring as any other industrial-looking vent.

You don’t have to be stuck with that unsightly box! Beaux-Arts has a vast selection of artistic radiator vent covers and we can also custom make them for you to ensure that your living space is more unique and attractive.
