The vast majority of historic structures were built before forced air heating and air conditioning; therefore, historic buildings and homes must be retrofitted with HVAC systems to support modern use. Beaux-Arts Classic Products offers two lines of historically based vents to compliment the architectural integrity of your property, avoiding white louvered metal vent covers.
The General Services Administration of the U.S Government (GSA) recommends to “reuse original grilles where possible” or “specify new grilles to match the original as closely as possible, in material and pattern.”
Beaux-Arts Classic Products' grilles are approved for historic preservation projects. We spent many years and made several versions before creating our Craftsman style grille. Our replica captures the detail and beauty of historic iron registers, while meeting modern day HVAC vent standards in a lightweight, low maintenance resin.
Our Louis XIV style boasts a classic acanthus leaf design popular in Europe, Circa 1680’s.
The Château de Lalinde - developed from a 13th-century castle in the commune of Lalinde, Dordogne, France. It is known locally as le château de la Bastide. Our Louis XIV style grilles were used throughout the chateau in radiator cabinets
