Metalwork and woodwork specifically produced for the purpose of screening need not be limited to applications such as vent covers and heating registers. Depending on the product and style, grilles and grates lend themselves well to space division, light-fixture diffusion, screening windows and transoms, wall d\u00e9cor, ceiling medallions, infill, cabinetry and storage ventilation, and more. But, even if you are looking to cover a vent, consider using a design that really adds something to the space. Such minute yet thoughtful details don\u2019t go unnoticed by the discerning client. Here is a sampling of products to get you started.<\/p>\n

AJK Design Studio<\/a>: Various
<\/b>Previously a textile designer for Maharam<\/a>, Annie Kantor has applied her knack for patterns to custom metal grilles and registers. They range from Moorish tile motifs and latticework to sinuous and whimsical dot patterns. Available to both the trade and consumers via her website, the grilles are made to order in steel, brushed or polished stainless steel, and brass. The steel units can be powder-coated in a selection of 10 finishes.<\/p>\n

Architectural Grille<\/a>: Wood Grilles
<\/b>This Brooklyn-based concern offers a variety of metal designs, but also in wood. Any of the company\u2019s perforated designs can be specified in oak, maple, teak, ash, poplar, or cherry wood, in several stain, lacquer, or paint finishes. Of course, Architectural Grille also has the standard bar-style wooden grille should you prefer that.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n
McNichols<\/i><\/p>\n

McNichols<\/a>: Various
<\/b>Best known for perforated and mesh architectural metal, McNichols\u2019 products can also be used on smaller scales from creating decorative light diffusers to screening heating and ventilation openings. Round holes, square holes, diamonds, slots, hexagons, shells, and clover leafs are only a handful of styles the manufacturer offers.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n
Tableaux<\/i><\/p>\n

Tableaux<\/a>: Various
<\/b>This company (also shown at top) fabricates both residential and commercial-grade products that mimic the look of wrought iron, minus the weight and cost of the real thing. Designs run the gamut from traditional ornate patterns such as scrollwork and filigree to modern geometrics and are made of recycled wood fiber or veneers.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n
Decor Grates<\/i><\/p>\n
