“My home is like an art gallery, but the truth is I get more questions about where I got  your Filter Grille than I get about my art collection.  I love it. ”     Mary Jo

Replacing Industrial Grilles with Decorative Grilles to improve functionality

“I always hated the white louvered return grille in my third floor gabled office.  Not only was it ugly, it made a loud sucking sound when the AC or heat was on.  There was dust build up on the white vent cover that required monthly cleanings.  I recently purchased your Arts and Crafts return grille.  As soon as I removed the industrial vent cover the noise stopped.  When I installed the decorative grille I expected the sucking sound to return, but to my surprise it didn’t.  Your grille eliminated that annoying sound, what a bonus.  Now I love my grille in the gabled ceiling.”  Fred, Pensacola, Florida
