Installerstore – No-Rust Plastic Registers and Grilles

Looking for a bathroom vent cover that won’t rust? How about a plastic wall register for the damp basement? It can be quite daunting looking for a plastic wall or floor diffuser in the size and style you need. Installerstore has many plastic wall registers and floor diffusers available. We even carry the hard-to-find no-rust return air grilles for the wall or ceiling in multiple sizes. Click on any of the photos or links below to go directly to the plastic register or grill on our site. Need help on measuring for the registers or need help on the difference between a register and a grill? Read our earlier blog on this topic.

Plastic Wall Registers

If you need a register or grill made of plastic, we have many different options and sizes available for you. The most popular plastic wall or ceiling register would be the 2-way defection no rust resin register. It is made of ABS high-density plastic resin that is rust-free and scratch resistant. The fully adjustable damper allows for full control of the airflow. Sizes available are 10×6, 12×6 and 14×6. Don’t need the damper to control the airflow, and you’re just looking for a return grill, we have the perfect fit. The hard-to-find plastic wall/ceiling return air grille is available in sizes 12″ x 6″ all the way to 30″ x 8″. The faceplate is only 3/16″ thick. If you are looking for a thicker faceplate for a baseboard grille, we also have plastic baseboard grilles available!

Plastic Floor Diffusers

 You can find many different styles and colors of plastic floor registers on our site. Our most popular sellers are the Contemporary plastic floor registers available in polished brass, satin nickel, oak, white, and antique brass colors. There’s no reason why you can’t have a plastic floor diffuser without a decorative color. Because floor registers are put through a lot of foot traffic, there are limited sizes. You normally will not find a large-sized floor register, such as 6×12, in plastic. This is because the larger plastic cannot hold up to foot traffic. We do have many metal options for larger floor ducts/openings. Each of these plastic floor vent covers include a fully adjustable plastic damper.

Ways to Conserve Electricity while the AC runs 24/7

Here in Wisconsin, we saw about a week straight that saw 100+ temperatures with no relief. Air conditioners were running 24/7 and we were all looking for ways to conserve as much as the cool air that was being pumped in the house.  Most people don’t realize the energy/cooling loss that happens with common floor and/or wall registers. Common registers will have a single deflection (meaning it only shoots cool air out once) or 2-way deflection (airflow shoots 2 directions). Most registers aren’t placed smack dab in the middle of the room, where the cool air is needed the most. And don’t even get me started with furniture blocking valuable vents. Grandmothers antique wardrobe can only fit in one spot in the living room, that also just happens to be blocking a floor register distributing valuable cool air. Or how about the floor register that is located right next to the window, and the cool air just causes the curtains to dance? Instead of keeping the bottom of the wardrobe cool, there are inexpensive air deflectors that can help you stay cool and save energy.
